In Minnesota, the State DOT is responsible for permitting
OS/OW loads. We developed a plan recently addressing the need to protect OS/OW
routes from geometric obstructions such as vertical clearances and turning
radii issues. The recommendation is on page 86 here:

Marilee,
Can you please send me
a PDF example of one of your truck route maps and anything you might have that
describes how the route is assigned and if there are any special considerations
made on infrastructure requirement or standards for truck routes? I would
appreciate it very much!
Thanks,

Joseph,
Though Wyoming does
not have sea ports, our Port of Entry officers deal with over-height,
over-width, over length-vehicles directly, but the overweight vehicle permit
requests go through our Bridge department.
I only sent this on
to you, because this may or may not be of interest to you. Our
Planning section has developed a few truck route maps, but they do not
cover overweight vehicles.

Hello,
I am trying to identify the various working models for a port area overweight
truck corridor program. These programs recognize the unique need
for
overweight cargo drays in the vicinity of ports and use ideas such as corridor
designation and permits to manage this activity. The programs I
have
identified to date are Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, CA, and Tacoma,
WA. These all follow a similar model so I am hoping this post will
lead to
other kinds of working models.
Thank you very much!
