Ohio Oversize Permits Validity: Ohio Oversize permits are valid for 5 days.
Ohio Oversize Permits Travel Time: Travel is allowed from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset, including weekends, for load up to 12 feet wide. Loads wider than 12 feet are allowed to travel until 3:00 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. From April 1 to November 30, Friday travel is only permitted until 3:00 PM. Continuous movement is authorized for overweight loads and loads with a trailer with an overall length of no more than 53 feet, as long as they can maintain traffic flow.
Ohio Oversize Permits Travel Restrictions: Many jurisdictions ban cars or loads wider than 12 feet from moving between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM, as well as 4:30 PM and 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. A list of impacted counties may be found on the Ohio Provisions Form OS-1A, which must be submitted with the permit. Furthermore, oversize and overweight loads are often not permitted to travel on significant holidays, which run from noon the previous business day to sunrise the next working day.
Additional Consideration: Ohio does not allow diversions from allowed routes for fuel, food, or other purposes (see the provision sheet). If a stop at a truck station is required, it must be noted on the permit.
Ohio Oversize Permits Turnpike Rules: Drivers must call from a pull-over place to get permission for turnpike traffic. Permits are distributed at the toll plaza upon admission. The maximum allowable width for continuous movement is 10 feet. Loads more than 11 feet in breadth or 112 feet in length need pilot vehicles and prior authorization. During building season, the maximum height authorized is 13 feet 6 inches; otherwise, it is 14 feet (prior confirmation is advised). The maximum length without prior consent is 112 feet, and the maximum gross weight without at least two days’ notice is 90,000 pounds.
Toll Charges: Standard travel normally costs around $20. There is an extra $10 charge for widths that exceed conventional restrictions, as well as another $10 for lengths more than 75 feet. Additional costs apply for overweight cargoes, including a price of roughly $70 for traveling the whole length of the turnpike with a load weighing up to 90,000 pounds.

Signs, Lightning & Flags Information for Oversize Load in Ohio and Additional Information
Ohio Oversize Permits Signs, Lightning & Flags Information: Vehicles or loads that are wider than 10 feet, higher than 14 feet 6 inches, or longer than the permissible length must carry “Oversize Load” signs on the front and back. Oversized vehicles and goods must also have flags attached at specific locations. Wide loads necessitate flags at each corner of the vehicle or load, as well as its broadest points. Loads having a rear overhang of four feet or more must have a flag at their furthest point. If the overhanging area is 2 feet or less broad, a single flag is required; if it is more than 2 feet wide, two flags must be used to mark the maximum width. At night, any overhanging piece must be lit. Additionally, when transporting a large vehicle or freight, headlights must always be turned on.
Miscellaneous: Dozers with blades larger than 12 feet are limited to a 25-mile radius unless a traffic protection device is employed. If the gadget is not in place, detach the blade and transport it separately. Blades over 14 feet wide cannot be moved unless a traffic protector is utilized or the blade is disconnected and transported separately. Utility poles and steel pipes are free from permit length limitations, although this does not apply to beams or other materials.
