All oversize loads entering the Village of Honeoye Falls, Monroe County, must conform to the requirements set by the New York Department of Transportation and local ordinances.

Generally, any vehicle exceeding 8 feet 6 inches in width, 13 feet 6 inches in height, or with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 80,000 lbs requires an oversize load permit from the Honeoye Falls Public Works Department.

Loads exceeding these dimensions may also require a route survey to ensure clearance under bridges and overpasses, especially those along NY Route 15A, which is a main thoroughfare through the village.

Escort vehicles are typically required for loads exceeding 12 feet in width, 14 feet 6 inches in height, or 100 feet in length within Honeoye Falls. Specific requirements depend on the route and potential obstructions.

For loads requiring a police escort, contact the Honeoye Falls Police Department at (585) 624-1870 at least 72 hours in advance to schedule. Fees for police escorts vary based on the duration and complexity of the escort, typically starting at $75 per hour.

To apply for an oversize load permit in Honeoye Falls, contact the Honeoye Falls Public Works Department. While there isn't a dedicated online application portal, you can initiate the process by calling (585) 624-1710. Be prepared to provide detailed load dimensions, weight, and proposed route.

Required documentation includes a detailed route plan, vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and a diagram of the load configuration. For extremely heavy loads, a structural analysis of affected bridges might be required, as determined by the Village Engineer.

Time-of-day restrictions are in effect within Honeoye Falls. Oversize loads are generally prohibited from traveling through the village during peak hours (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM) on weekdays to minimize traffic congestion.

Seasonal weight restrictions may be imposed on certain roads during the spring thaw (typically March-April) to prevent damage to road surfaces. Check with the Public Works Department for current restrictions.

Avoid routing oversize loads through the residential streets surrounding Harry Allen Park and the historic downtown area whenever possible. These areas have narrow streets and tight turning radii.

The base permit fee for oversize loads in Honeoye Falls is $25. Additional charges may apply based on load size, weight, and the complexity of the route. Loads requiring bridge inspections will incur additional fees.

Fees increase incrementally based on the overall length and weight of the load. Loads exceeding 120,000 lbs may be subject to a surcharge of $0.05 per pound over the limit.
