All oversize loads entering the City of Lake Cassidy, located in Snohomish County, must conform to the requirements set by the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the Lake Cassidy Public Works Department.

Generally, any vehicle exceeding 8 feet 6 inches in width, 14 feet in height, or operating within the Class 5 weight category and above, requires an oversize/overweight load permit from the Lake Cassidy Public Works Department.

Specifically, loads traversing the SR-524 corridor (Maltby Road) within city limits are subject to heightened scrutiny due to ongoing construction and potential bridge weight limitations. Contact the Lake Cassidy Public Works Department for the most up-to-date bridge weight restrictions before planning your route.

Escort vehicles are required in Lake Cassidy when the load exceeds 12 feet in width, 14 feet 6 inches in height, or 90 feet in length. Front and rear escorts are mandatory for loads exceeding 14 feet in width or 100 feet in length.

Local police escorts may be required for extremely large or complex loads, particularly those navigating narrow residential streets or requiring temporary road closures. Fees for police escorts vary depending on the duration and complexity of the escort, typically starting at $75 per hour with a 4-hour minimum. Scheduling requires at least 72 hours advance notice through the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.

Permit applications can be submitted online through the WSDOT permitting portal (www.wsdot.wa.gov/commercialvehicle/permits). For local Lake Cassidy requirements, contact the Lake Cassidy Public Works Department at (425) XXX-XXXX. You may also visit their office at [Fictional Address] during business hours.

Documentation requirements include a detailed description of the load, vehicle dimensions, proposed route, and insurance information. For overweight loads, a certified weight ticket is also required. Be prepared to provide axle weight distribution details.

Time-of-day restrictions are in effect within Lake Cassidy. Oversize loads are generally prohibited from operating between the hours of 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on weekdays to avoid peak traffic congestion.

Seasonal restrictions may apply during periods of inclement weather, such as heavy snow or ice. Check with the Lake Cassidy Public Works Department for specific restrictions during winter months.

Certain residential streets and areas around Lake Cassidy Elementary School are restricted to oversize loads. Avoid using 212th Street SE between SR-524 and 35th Ave SE if possible. Consult the city's official transportation map for designated truck routes.

The base permit fee for oversize loads in Lake Cassidy is $25. Additional charges may apply based on the load's dimensions, weight, and the distance traveled within city limits. Overweight permits are assessed based on the weight exceeding legal limits.

Fees also vary based on the complexity of the route and the need for additional traffic control measures. Loads requiring police escorts will incur separate fees billed by the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.
