Or. Admin. Code § 734-078-0020 - Approved Routes and Allowable Overall Lengths
(1) The
allowable overall lengths for the combinations of vehicles and load subject to
these rules must not exceed those lengths indicated for the various highways
listed on Attachment 17, revised January 2023. Attachment 17 is by reference
made part of Division 78 rules, and is available from the Commerce and
Compliance Division Over-Dimension Permit Unit.
(2) All state highways approved for operation
of vehicle combinations and loads under permit are those indicated on
Attachment 17. Separate permission must be obtained from proper authorities for
operation over county roads, city streets or other roads not under State
Highway jurisdiction.
(3) As
various state highways or sections thereof are reconstructed or improved to an
extent that longer overall vehicle and load lengths can safely travel the
highway, the Chief Engineer may by written order and at the Chief Engineer's
discretion authorize lengths in excess of those indicated on Attachment 17. In
the same manner, the Chief Engineer may add additional highways, or sections
thereof with corresponding overall lengths as the Chief Engineer deems
appropriate to those highways listed on Attachment 17.
(4) If the vehicle combination consists of a
log truck and independently operated manually or mechanically steered trailer
an overall length will be permitted which exceeds by fifteen feet those
indicated on permit Attachment 17.
(5) A load may include related items provided
it does not exceed the length allowed for the longest permitted item.
