Additionally, loads exceeding 16 feet in width or 18 feet in height require a detailed route survey and approval from the City Engineer to ensure safe passage through Footville's infrastructure.

Escort vehicles are required for loads exceeding 18 feet in width or 20 feet in height within the city limits of Footville. Escort vehicles must be equipped with proper signage and warning lights as per Wisconsin State Statutes.

For loads that exceed 20 feet in width or require a police escort, arrangements must be made with the Footville Police Department at least 48 hours in advance. Police escorts are subject to a fee of $150 per hour, with a minimum of 2 hours.
