(A)   Oklahoma County. Movement of oversize permitted loads is not allowed on the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways in Oklahoma County from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The two (2) mile section of Interstate 35 between State Highway 9 East (Exit 108) and State Highway 9 West (Exit 106) shall be exempt from this restriction.

(2)   Required signs and flags. All oversized equipment requires the regulation "Oversize Load" sign and flagging, as provided in 595:30-3-16.

(3)   Exceptions. The restrictions in this paragraph shall not apply to special combination vehicles, longer combination vehicles, and vehicles which are overweight only.

(4)   Weather, traffic, road and atmospheric conditions. Extreme caution in the operation of permitted vehicles and loads shall be exercised during hazardous conditions, including, but not limited to, snow, ice, sleet, fog, mist, rain, dust, smoke, excessive wind, or any weather, traffic, or road condition which would adversely affect traction or braking capabilities. When conditions become dangerous, the company or the operator shall discontinue operations, and operations shall not resume until the vehicle and load can be moved with reasonable safety. The state may restrict or prohibit operations during periods, when, in the state's judgment, weather, traffic, road, or other conditions exist which make such operations unsafe or inadvisable. [See OAC 730:30-9-12(c)(2) regarding driving conditions.]

(5)   Overweight load route review. Requests for permits for overweight loads which require a load route review shall be submitted to ensure they are received by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation Bridge Division a minimum of five (5) working days prior to the date of movement [730:30-9-7(k)].

(6)   Brakes, drawbars, and lighting requirements. Equipment requirements for this Paragraph are found in 47 O.S. §§12-201 through 12-415, and in the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Regulations, Part 393, Subchapters B, C, B, and H.

(7)   Accuracy of information. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure accuracy of information contained in company profile and on the application when submitting for a permit. Sharing your password with anyone is a violation of our agreement, as it may compromise the account holder's confidential information and could result in outside charges on your account for which you will be responsible and liable. The charges incurred on your account are the responsibility of the owner as described in the profile, no matter who makes the actual charge. Permits will not be revised to alter the load description or the vehicle or load dimensions. Multi-trip or annual permits cannot be changed. Any other revisions shall be at the discretion of the permit office and only one (1) revision will be allowed per permit.
