When the Project restricts the width, length, height, or weight of vehicles through a work zone or detours trucks around a work zone, fill out and submit a completed copy of the "Highway Restriction Notice-Size and/or Weight" form (Form No. 734-2357), available from the ODOT Motor Carrier Transportation website, at l

• Reviews notices submitted by contractor to

ensure information is complete and consistent with Mobility Considerations Checklist.

• Forwards Restriction Notice to Mobility Team

at at leas east 1 t 14 or 28 d days prior to restriction

taking effect (depending on restriction).

• Updates and lifts restrictions as appropriate.

14 vs 28 Day Notification

Why hy 14 d 4 days ys?

Singl ngle-Trip O p Over er-Dim imension sion Permits ( its (STPs) s)

• Valid for one or more trips in a 10-day timeframe, and are

issued up to 4 days in advance.

• They are route-specific, and carriers are not allowed to deviate.
• ODOT Over-Dimension Permit Analysts process a queue of STPs.

14 days are needed to “clear” the queue of permits affected by a restriction.

Why hy 28 d 28 days ys?

Annual O l Over er-dim imensio sion P Permit H it Holder N Notif tific icatio ation

• Annual permit holders are allowed unlimited trips. We generally

do not know exactly when or where those trips will take place.

• ODOT needs enough time (28 days) to review the restriction and

issue trucking advisories and notification letters.

ODO ODOT T Mobilit ity y Te Team

• Reviews & approves restriction notices forwarded

by Resident Engineer.

• Publishes restrictions and planned detours (e.g.

TripCheck.com, Oregon.gov, Trucking Advisories, etc.)

No Notif ific ication is r required for

tions:

• Any time horizontal clearance is reduced to less than
• 28 feet for two lanes of one-way traffic,
• 28 feet for two lanes of 2-way traffic (single lane each way)
• 22 feet for one lane of one-way traffic.
• Any time a state facility is fully closed or traffic is

detoured for any period of time (regardless of whether or

• Any time a ramp is closed for any period of time

• Any time vertical clearance is reduced.
• Any time weight or length restrictions are imposed.

Best Pr t Practi tices

• Be a

e as s speci ecific c as p possibl ble e when en entering d g dates & & durat ations. . Avoid submitting “blanket” restrictions that will restrict routes when work isn’t actually taking place.

• For r

ramps: : indicate as many that can reasonably be completed within a reasonable amount of time (work with the Mobility Team to determine).

• For m

mult lti-lan ane h highw hways, w , when work is no not co concur ncurren ent: send separate notifications for each direction of travel, and stages/phases with different size restrictions or hours.

• 4. Restriction Considerations

Horizontal clearance refers to the paved unobstructed width between barriers (soft or hard barrier, or equipment) including any usable shoulder.

Width Restrictions

Hori rizontal C l Cle learance nce & & Lo Load Restri rict ctions

The Mobility Team applies a buffer to the available horizontal width to determine the load restriction through the work zone:

The buffer space depends on if the work zone is on a tangent and/or curve.

Width Restrictions

Any ny temporary reduction in VC requires notification/coordination with the Mobility Team.

Examples include temporary bridge falsework, temporary traffic signals, & diverting traffic into lanes with less VC.

Height Restrictions

Length Restrictions

• Engage the Mobility Team EARLY if you believe your

project will require a length restriction.

• There are many different vehicle configurations to

consider, when planning for a length restriction..

 Size & weight restrictions.  Overhead obstructions  Safe turning movements & off tracking.  Emergency services response times.  Can hazardous material loads use the route?  Are there other projects on the proposed detour that will restrict traffic?  Are other projects using the existing route as a detour?

Detours

Issu ssues t to C

• Check:

Detour p r pla lann nning ng: Take into account & provide

for all traffic allowed to use the route, including freight and over-dimension units.
