Oregon Oversize load restrictions – Memorial Day Through Labor Day

Written by ODOT

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, over-width loads can’t move in Oregon during the daytime after noon on Saturdays and all day Sunday. Exception: If overall width is 14’ or less, then weekend daytime travel is allowed on Interstate routes or on permitted routes east of the summit of the Cascade mountains. Also, triple trailers, mobile/modular homes, towed units, long logs, poles, and piling, and non-divisible overwidth loads are subject to special restrictions on major holidays. Here are the restrictions this year during Memorial Day and Independence Day.

 

Triple trailer combinations cannot operate on those routes shown as Holiday or Holiday & Weekend restricted on Route Map 5 during the Memorial Day period from 4 p.m. Friday, May 26 until sunrise Tuesday, May 30, and during the Independence Day period from 4 p.m. Monday, July 3 until 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, July 5.

 

Mobile / modular homes cannot be moved if over 8´6” in width during the Memorial Day period from noon Friday, May 26 until 1/2 hour before sunrise Tuesday, May 30, and during the Independence Day period from noon Monday, July 3 until 1/2 hour before sunrise Wednesday July 5.

 

Exceptions: Operations may recommence on Interstates at 12:01 a.m. on the first business day following the observed holiday when width is not in excess of 10’ AND the outermost extremities are illuminated by lamps or markers as required by ORS Chapter 816.

 

Towed units cannot be moved if over 8´6” in width or towing a combination of vehicles during the Memorial Day period from noon Friday, May 26 until 1/2 hour before sunrise Tuesday, May 30, and during the Independence Day period from 2 p.m. Monday, July 3 until 1/2 hour before sunrise Wednesday, July 5.

 

Exception: This rule does not apply when the tow vehicle is performing the initial emergency removal of a disabled unit from the highway or when the disabled vehicle or combination of vehicles is operating under a rule or variance permit allowing movement prior to the emergency. See Permit Attachment H for specific hauling hours and days for overwidth movements.

 

Long logs, poles, and piling cannot be moved if over 105´ in overall combination length during the Memorial Day period from noon Friday, May 26 until sunrise Tuesday, May 30, and during the Independence Day period from 2 p.m. Monday, July 3 until sunrise Wednesday, July 5.

 

Non-divisible loads cannot be moved if over 8´6” in width during the Memorial Day period from noon Friday, May 26 until 1/2 hour before sunrise Tuesday, May 30, and during the Independence Day period from noon Monday, July 3 until 1/2 hour before sunrise Wednesday, July 5.

Exceptions: Operations may recommence on Interstates at 12:01 a.m. on the first business day following the observed holiday when width is not in excess of 12’ AND the outermost extremities are illuminated by lamps or markers as required by ORS Chapter 816. Operations may recommence on Green Routes on Route Map 2 at 12:01 a.m. on the first business day following the observed holiday when width is not in excess of 10’ AND the outermost extremities are illuminated by lamps or markers as required by ORS Chapter 816.
