DMV – Special Equipment (SE) Plate – Do you know whether or not your equipment can legally travel over a public roadway or highway?
A known practice of “roading” construction equipment over a public roadway and/or highway is being enforced very differently these days. Some members, when stopped by a law enforcement officer and cited, say “But officer, I have done it this way for years and never had a problem before”. We also have those that inform the officer that they have a valid SE Plate that allows them to travel over the highway, which is correct to a point, but not quite as far as most would think—the Vehicle Code states “which moves only occasionally or incidentally operated or moved over the highways”?
