Municipal OS/OW OPS Info
Due to factors such as proximity to other travelers, proximity to various utilities, and infrastructure that is not as well equipped to handle the stresses and strains that these types of loads exert, city streets present a unique challenge to over dimensional movements. Many are unaware that state permits for an oversize load are not always required for the movement. While state permits are always required, municipal (city) permits may also be required if your route passes through urban areas where oversize loads are generally unwelcome.
Major cities typically have their own distinct permit authorities. The revenue generated by these permits is reinvested in the infrastructure that has been harmed over time by the extradimensional movements. Each city has its own permit application process that must be followed in order to obtain a permit. Most cities outline the process of obtaining a permit on their website or provide a phone number to call.
