Section 17.25.360. Offloading of vehicles.

An enforcement officer may order the removal of a portion of a load if the officer determines that the size or weight of a vehicle or load violates the size, weight, or load limitations of this chapter or the terms of an oversize or overweight permit issued under 17 AAC 25.320 and if the enforcement officer considers removal necessary to protect the public safety or the highway and its apparatus. If ordered to remove a portion of a load, the driver of the vehicle shall move the vehicle to the location specified by the enforcement officer and remove the portion of the load. The vehicle and the load must not interfere with the movement of traffic and must be removed from the highway right-of-way or other public property within 72 hours. The owner or lessee of the vehicle shall bear the expense of unloading and removing the excess load. Loads abandoned on a highway right-of-way or other public property in excess of 72 hours will be removed at the owner's or lessee's expense.
