What is a traffic load?
A load whose weight, length, width, or height exceeds the specified limit is known as traffic load, and this limit depends on the type of vehicle. For example, if the load in question is 14 meters long, and we intend to transport it with a floor trolley, considering that the maximum length of a floor trolley is 13.6 meters, a 40 cm protrusion makes this load fall into the category of traffic loads. In any case, if the load exceeds the dimensions of the car in the loading bay, a traffic permit must be obtained to transport it. In general, the limit for the width of the load is 2.6 meters, for the height of 4.5 meters and The weight of the load is 40 tons. Also, regarding the length of 10 meters for a two-axle truck, 12 meters for a truck with a trailer, 16.5 meters for a 4-axle trailer, exceeding this amount means that the load is placed in the traffic load category.

For this reason, before issuing the crossing permit, the bridges that exist along the route should be mentioned, and if the intention is to cross the bridge bypass, this news should be announced to the regional road and transport department 3 days in advance so that the necessary arrangements for crossing can be made. Apply to the car. Also, if it is not possible for the car to pass through the bypass of the bridges, alternative routes should be considered for transportation.
