Arkansas Oversize Load Regulations

Arkansas enforces specific maximum dimensions and weight thresholds for commercial vehicles operating without oversize or overweight permits.
Maximum Legal Width: 8 feet 6 inches
Maximum Legal Height: 13 feet 6 inches, aligned with federal bridge-clearance guidance
Maximum Overall Vehicle Length:
Single-Unit Truck Limit: 57 feet
Combination Vehicle (tractor + trailer): 85 feet
Standard Gross Vehicle Weight: 80,000 lbs GVW total
Axle Weight Allowance:
Single Axle Load: 20,000 lbs
Tandem Axle Rating: 34,000 lbs
Tridem Axle Range: 42,000–60,000 lbs depending on configuration
Any load exceeding these limits requires an Arkansas oversize/overweight permit
These guidelines protect roadway structure, bridge load capacity, and pavement lifespan
Following compliance prevents routing issues, fines, delays, and permit suspension risk

Loads wider than 8’6” require ARDOT oversize permitting before transport.
Cargo above 12 ft width often requires one or more escort/pilot vehicles depending on route density and urban navigation.
Loads over 14 ft may require restricted travel time approvals along major corridors near Fayetteville due to interchange geometry and lane-sharing limitations.
Loads exceeding 16 ft generally require state police escort + route validation review to ensure lane availability through constrained corridors.
Metro regions like Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Little Rock, Springdale may apply additional timing controls during peak movement.
Oversize loads must be marked clearly using banners, safety flags, and beacon lighting.
Drivers must maintain fixed-lane discipline and avoid oncoming-lane encroachment.
Arkansas enforces moderated speed expectations for wind-sensitive wide freight.

All oversize moves must display OVERSIZE LOAD signage on front and rear.
Red/orange visibility flags must be attached to outer load corners.
Amber beacon lighting or LED strobes are generally required for both power unit and escort car.
Drivers must have a valid ARDOT permit in possession throughout the transport.
Escort vehicles must meet state equipment criteria — including radios + height pole when needed.
Chains, binders, and securement methods must match load weight and distribution.
Hauls must follow the issued route exactly — deviations may void permit authority.
Compliance maintains roadway safety and protects infrastructure during transport.

Loads longer than 85 ft require oversize authorization.
Freight above 105 ft may require lead and chase escort vehicles for lane control and turning radius support.
Extreme-length configurations beyond 120 ft typically require state route review and additional escort support.
Long equipment may require increased caution along Fayetteville interchanges and turns.
Commercial districts may require site notification for sweeping turns and stop-sign clearance.
Long freight such as structural steel, turbine blades, and beam components require turning-space planning.
Time-of-day restrictions may apply for extended-length movement during peak traffic periods.
Gradual speed control and low-brake descent prevent load swing or trailer drift.

Any load over 13’6” requires height-compliance permitting due to bridge/tunnel limits.
Loads above 15 ft may require pre-survey route planning for utility lines and older infrastructure.
Loads exceeding 16 ft typically require a lead escort equipped with a height pole.
Certain regions may restrict ultra-tall freight from interchange underpasses or older bridges.
Speed moderation reduces sway and top-heavy roll risk during elevation transitions.
Incorrect height reporting may result in obstruction impact or enforced reroute.
Adhering to height regulations ensures safe passage across Arkansas freight corridors.

Most oversize loads may move between sunrise and sunset only.
Night movement is restricted for escort-required or extreme-dimension loads.
Movement may pause during storms, fog, ice, or low seasonal visibility — common in winter elevation zones.
Transport is restricted on major U.S. holidays — New Year’s, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas.
Weekend moves may be limited based on dimensions and escort status.
Regions including Fayetteville and the Northwest Arkansas corridor enforce commuter-hour avoidance.
Escort-required loads may need scheduled routing approval.
Non-compliance may result in penalties, delay, or suspension.

Fayetteville, AR Oversize Load Regulations & City-Specific Restrictions

Restricted Areas in Fayetteville

Downtown Fayetteville (Dickson Street + Core District)
Oversize trucks often face movement restrictions during peak business and school-hour traffic (typically 7–9 AM and 4–6 PM, Monday through Friday). Special routing is required around the entertainment district, tight road grids, and lower-height access points near campus streets.

Low-Clearance Underpasses & Infrastructure Constraints
Several older bridges around central Fayetteville have reduced clearance ranges that must be confirmed before routing. Common height-sensitive points include:
• Gregg Avenue Railroad Bridge
• Township Street Rail Underpass
• Select crossings along College Avenue (US-71 Business)

Preferred Oversize Route Corridors

I-49 Fayetteville–Springdale–Bentonville Alignment
This interstate serves as the primary freight spine for large and heavy equipment transport through Northwest Arkansas, pending permit compliance.

Fayetteville Bypass / AR-265
Often used to avoid downtown compression zones. Provides access to industrial parks with smoother maneuvering room and reduced turning constraints.

US-412 Approach Toward Springdale
Frequently selected for access into distribution facilities and agricultural transfer routes. High-volume transport requires planned timing for safe lane transitions.

City Permits and Police Escort Requirements

Local Permitting
The City of Fayetteville may require local permit authorization in addition to ARDOT oversize permitting — especially when diverting off primary interstate routes onto surface streets, commercial docks, or job-site entry zones.

Police-Escort Deployment
University-adjacent traffic, pedestrian-dense corridors, or loads impacting lane availability may require Fayetteville Police Department escort approval. Escorts are often mandatory if load width impacts multiple travel lanes, signal clearance, or urban navigation.
