Belmont MA requires a permit anytime a truck crosses from the street to private property. We have asked for clarification many times from the hwy dept but havent gotten much that makes sense. They told if we had a bucket truck working in a backyard we need a permit, because we had to drive across the rightaway to get there.
I cant find it on the towns web site or in the bylaws, but we have been shutdown for not having the permit before.
Has anyone in the area run into this? We had a couple very frustrating conversations with the hwy dept, the specifics of when you need a permit and when you dont are very unclear. We ask our customers in that town if they know of the permit, none have ever heard of it

Occupancy of the roadway (blocking lanes etc) is one thing, and here in GA the DOT requires permits that are issued through the local traffic engineers office. That I can see, even though it may be a PITA. Permits to cross the ROW from the roadway to a private property?? Now THAT is asinine!
