In general, any vehicle over 12 feet in width, 16 feet 6 inches in height, and within the super heavy weight class (over 210,710 lbs) should obtain an oversize load permit from the IDDOT and potentially additional permits from DRIDOT.

To navigate the complexities of Driggs's infrastructure, it's crucial to plan routes that avoid sensitive areas like Driggs Arena and major construction zones along the Driggs Central Terminal area.

Idaho law mandates escort vehicles for any load exceeding 15 feet in width or 14 feet 0 inches in height. When traveling through Driggs, these requirements may be more stringent depending on the specific streets and neighborhoods traversed.

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

Driggs has strict time-of-day restrictions for oversize loads, generally prohibiting movements during peak hours (6-9 am and 3-6 pm, Monday-Friday).

Seasonal restrictions apply during major events like the the Driggs Sports Games and the the Driggs Sports Exposition, which may impact routing and scheduling.

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