Operators guide to oversize vehicle movements : incorporating the Handbook for the movement of overdimension vehicles operating under the General Permit Scheme

The purpose of this book is to provide information on the requirements for the movement of oversize and overmass vehicles and their loads in New South Wales. The reason for applying extra conditions on these movements is to ensure that large vehicles and loads which take up more than the usual road space are moved safely, and with a minimum of inconvenience to other road users. This book outlines the conditions applying to general oversize and overmass permit travel for both agricultural and non-agricultural vehicles. The book may be used as a permit for vehicles and loads which meet the conditions outlined for General Permit travel, and in this circumstance must be carried in the vehicle and produced when required. For vehicles and loads that exceed these conditions, a Specific Permit is required and information relating to this type of permit can be found within these pages. In addition, the book outlines the details of the various heavy vehicle permit schemes managed by the RTA, and provides other information of use to the transport industry.
