An Oversize Load is a vehicle that is wider, taller, longer, or heavier than what is normally allowed on the road. It needs extra time and space to turn, change lanes, and stop — and it might need to go slow so it can fit under, around, or through something on the road. Trying to pass an Oversize Load can be hazardous.

Sometimes Oversize Loads are accompanied by pilot cars — vehicles with Oversize Load signs that warn you about the presence of the load. Pilot cars might signal for drivers to slow down or wait if the load needs more space to maneuver. Heed their instructions. They are there to protect you.

If you see an Oversize Load or pilot cars on the road, slow your pace, give them space!
