Wide load travel restrictions

Posted 25/07/2019

Travel restrictions are set out by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR).

Certain curfews apply to various council areas and can be determined by checking the TMR Conditions Database for the intended route of a wide load.
State-wide curfews apply during the Easter and Christmas periods to minimise the risk to the general public.
