Over width on I-90 and I-476

Okay... I'm at the house, and I do not have any of my gear with me. I had a similar question about Illinois (they dont require a permit with farm equipment) Just because you dont need a permit doesnt mean that you are exempt from the regs as listed in the provisions. Yes, you may not need a permit, but you are still required to follow the rules. Same hours, days, curfews...etc. I'm not getting on you, just warning you because Pennsylvania is tricky: Do not move until you read those PA provisions. In fact, you should see on one of the pages on your permit (is it 3 or 4 pages) that the permit is not valid without the provisions. There are 2 provision sheets that you have to have handy. One is that map, the other is the written regs.

 

The regs for the thruways are normally either on the permit or the provisions also.

 

also in NY remember....FLAGS MUST BE ON STAFFS. no flags on bungees. page 1 on permit. $172 fine. ask me how I know. ########.

 

Rank, you have to be really big and heavy to need a Mass tpk permit. I was permitted at 12 wide and 85,000 and didn't need one. The Mass permit is pretty good too. 24hr running 5+ days a week with only a few area curfews. NY Thruway is 24 hour running as well, which is nice. FYI, If you're heavy they won't let you go over the bridge to the Mass Pike staying on the Thruway, you'll need to take 90 thru Albany and rejoin the Thruway where 90 does. Need EZ Pass for over 10' I believe. When I was running some OD loads from JFK to Boston, NY Thruway to Mass Pike was the way I went (I hate OD in CT).

 

I didn't say anything about PA, just NY and Mass.

 

Ok.....Question- Where do I mount the Flag-Staff on my trailer? I dont have outriggers or flagpole mounts.....

Is this another one of tholse state laws that Makes you "Figure it out yourself"???
