All oversize loads entering Hurricane, Utah must conform to the requirements set by the Utah Department of Transportation (UTDOT) and the Hurricane Department of Transportation (HURDOT).

In general, any vehicle over 12 feet in width, 15 feet 6 inches in height, and within the super heavy weight class (over 244,000 lbs) should obtain an oversize load permit from the UTDOT and potentially additional permits from HURDOT.

To navigate the complexities of Hurricane's infrastructure, it's crucial to plan routes that avoid sensitive areas like the Hurricane Bay and major construction zones along the Hurricane Shopping District area.

Utah law mandates escort vehicles for any load exceeding 17 feet in width or 14 feet 6 inches in height. When traveling through Hurricane, these requirements may be more stringent depending on the specific streets and neighborhoods traversed.

The Hurricane Department of Transportation requires a minimum of 36 hours advance notice to coordinate police escorts, which are mandatory for super-loads or when traveling through congested areas of Hurricane.

The Utah Department of Transportation manages the primary application process for oversize permits, with supplementary permits required from Hurricane Department of Transportation for transit through Hurricane limits.

Required documentation for Hurricane permits includes axle configuration diagrams, proof of insurance with appropriate coverage levels, and detailed transport plans. Engineering assessments may be required for loads exceeding standard weight thresholds on certain streets and bridges.

Hurricane has strict time-of-day restrictions for oversize loads, generally prohibiting movements during peak hours (7-9 am and 3-6 pm, Monday-Friday).

Seasonal restrictions apply during major events like the the Hurricane Music Parade and the the Hurricane Annual Games, which may impact routing and scheduling.

Certain neighborhoods, such as Hurricane Center and areas around Hurricane Lake, 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 Utah 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.

For movements within Hurricane, Hurricane Department of Transportation may charge additional fees for city-specific permits, which can range from $75 to $500 or more for particularly complex routes or those requiring extensive coordination with city agencies.
