Coral Springs, Florida regulations require all heavy haul operations to comply with the Florida Department of Transportation (FLDOT) guidelines as well as local ordinances administered by the Coral Springs Department of Transportation (CORDOT).

Heavy haul permits are required for any load exceeding 13 feet in width, 15 feet 6 inches in height, or 219,489 lbs in gross vehicle weight. These dimensions are strictly enforced throughout Coral Springs, particularly in high-traffic areas.

Special consideration must be given to route planning to avoid Coral Springs University and the vicinity of Coral Springs Tech Hub, which have infrastructure limitations or heavy pedestrian traffic that may impede oversized loads.

Florida law mandates escort vehicles for any load exceeding 16 feet in width or 15 feet 6 inches in height. When traveling through Coral Springs, these requirements may be more stringent depending on the specific streets and neighborhoods traversed.

The Coral Springs Department of Transportation requires a minimum of 52 hours advance notice to coordinate police escorts, which are mandatory for super-loads or when traveling through congested areas of Coral Springs.

Permit applications in Coral Springs must be submitted through the FLDOT's online permitting system. Carriers should be prepared to provide comprehensive vehicle specifications, proposed routes, and transport schedules.

Applications must include certified weight tickets, dimensional diagrams, and route surveys. For loads that may impact traffic flow in Coral Springs, a traffic management plan may also be required as part of the application process.

Coral Springs has strict time-of-day restrictions for oversize loads, generally prohibiting movements during peak hours (6-9 am and 4-6 pm, Monday-Friday).

Seasonal restrictions apply during major events like the the Coral Springs Annual Convention and the the Coral Springs International Festival, which may impact routing and scheduling.

Certain neighborhoods, such as Coral Springs Center and areas around Coral Springs Commercial Zone, have restricted access for oversize loads. Alternative routes should be planned in advance to avoid these areas.

The base permit fee for an oversize load in Florida is $40, with additional fees for super heavy loads (over 200,000 lbs) ranging from $150 to $350 depending on the complexity of the move.
