Editor's Note: See 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 101 et seq.
D.
Emergency vehicles, local delivery vehicles and school buses, as defined herein, shall be exempt from the restrictions imposed under Subsection B above. However, if the Board of Supervisors or Roadmaster determine that any emergency vehicle, local delivery vehicle or school bus is likely to damage a road, the Supervisors will so notify the registrants of the motor vehicle(s) and will also notify the PA State Police. After two business days following delivery of the notice, or after five days following mailing of the notice, such vehicle or vehicles shall not exceed the weight limits except in accordance with Subsection E hereof.
E.
Permits.
(1)
The Supervisors or Roadmaster may issue permits for movement of vehicles
in excess of the restrictions established hereunder. Applications

The permittee may be required to submit such bond or other collateral
acceptable to and in the favor of the Township as the Township may
require to ensure faithful compliance with the provisions of this
section.
(2)

"Reasonable alternative route" shall mean a route meeting the criteria set forth in the regulations of the PA Department of Transportation (or any successor agency) relating to traffic and engineering studies.
