Permit Validity and Travel Restrictions in Georgia
Georgia oversize permits are valid for ten days and permit travel from one half hour after sunrise to one half hour before sunset, every day of the week. For loads weighing up to 125,000 pounds within legal dimensions, continuous travel can be requested when ordering your permit. However, it’s important to note that no travel is allowed on Sundays, major holidays, or during peak traffic hours in Atlanta’s I-285 loop (7:00 am – 9:00 am and 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday).
Legal Dimensions and Weight Limits for Oversize Loads in Georgia
The state’s legal dimensions without a permit include a maximum length of 75 feet (including overhang), width of 8 feet 6 inches, and height of 13 feet 6 inches. Routine permits extend these limits significantly, allowing widths up to 15 feet 6 inches, heights up to 16 feet, and gross weights up to 150,000 pounds depending on axle configurations. Loads exceeding these limits require special super load permits.
Georgia Escort Requirements and Safety Regulations
Escort requirements in Georgia are based on load size and dimensions. For example, loads longer than 75 feet require either one escort or flashing amber lights at the rear corners, while those over 125 feet must have two escorts. Width and height also influence escort needs, with flashing amber lights requiring a valid Georgia Light Sticker decal.
