Understanding Illinois Oversize Permits

Illinois oversize permits for vehicles and cargo. Five-day permits provide flexible transport planning and implementation. Regulations allow load up to 12′ broad, 13′-6″ high, and 200′ long to transit 24/7 with one civilian escort at night. Specific travel durations are mandated for loads over specified size to guarantee road safety.

Key Oversize Load Regulations

1. Operating Times:  12′ wide, 13′-6″ high, 200′ long: Authorized 24/7 with one escort at night.
 14'6" width, up to 15' high: Allowable daily from 30 minutes before dawn to 30 minutes after dusk.
Wider Loads: Travel is limited to weekdays and hours.

2. Restricted Travel Areas:  Cook County limits loads to 120,000 pounds and restricts breadth and height during specific hours.

The Illinois Toll way Regulations state that the maximum width for toll highways is normally 10 feet, except for certain parts that allow for 12 feet.

Escorting Requirements

Certain loads require escorts because to size:
