Special consideration must be given to route planning to avoid West Lebanon Basin and the vicinity of West Lebanon Hills, which have infrastructure limitations or heavy pedestrian traffic that may impede oversized loads.

Certain neighborhoods, such as West Lebanon Center and areas around West Lebanon Municipal Complex, have restricted access for oversize loads. Alternative routes should be planned in advance to avoid these areas.
