All oversize loads entering the City of Tuskegee must conform to the requirements set by the Alabama Department of Transportation and the Tuskegee Public Works Department.

In general, any vehicle over 12 feet in width, 14 feet in height, and within the Class III weight class should obtain an oversize load permit from the Tuskegee Public Works Department.

Additionally, oversized loads must avoid the downtown area during peak hours (7am-9am and 4pm-6pm) to minimize disruptions to local businesses and residents.

In Tuskegee, escort vehicles are required for loads exceeding 14 feet in width or 15 feet in height. This is to ensure the safe movement of oversized loads through the city's streets and highways.

The Tuskegee Police Department provides escort services for oversized loads. Scheduling an escort can be done by calling (334) 556-1111 at least 24 hours in advance.

To apply for an oversize load permit in Tuskegee, please visit the City's website ([www.tuskegeecity.org](http://www.tuskegeecity.org)) and complete the online application. You can also contact the Public Works Department at (334) 556-2222 to obtain a paper application.

Required documentation includes proof of insurance, vehicle registration, and a detailed description of the load's dimensions and weight.

In Tuskegee, oversized loads are prohibited on Main Street between 7am-9am from Monday to Friday due to high pedestrian traffic and limited parking.

During the winter months (December to February), oversized loads must avoid traveling on certain city streets that may be prone to icing or freezing. These restrictions will be communicated through the City's website and social media channels.

The Tuskegee Public Works Department has designated certain routes as 'oversize load-friendly' due to their width, height, and weight capacity. These routes are marked with signs and indicated on the City's map.

The standard permit fee for Tuskegee is $150, plus an additional $25 per hour for escort services. Route complexity and load size may incur additional fees, which will be calculated on a case-by-case basis.

For loads exceeding 12 feet in width or 15 feet in height, an additional $100 surcharge applies.
