Oversize Load Signs in Arkansas | Safety Flags and Warning Signs

Any combination or shipment over the legal dimensions should be correctly marked.

  •  Signs stating “OVERSIZE LOAD” must be displayed on the front of the combination and the rear of the load. 
  • A square 18 inches of red or orange safety flag must be placed on the front of the power unit and rear corners of the load. 
  • Night movement is typically not permitted. However, always refer to your permit for any special lighting requirements. 
  • Heavy haul shipments may not be required to display signs, but refer to your permit again.

Most travel is restricted to daylight hours only in Arkansas. Continuous travel may be permitted for heavy haul loads that are not oversize. It is possible under some circumstances to obtain weekend travel permission for some routes/smaller dimensions upon request (when filing).

No travel is permitted when visibility is obstructed, or inclement weather occurs, including—but not limited to—snow, hail, rain, wind, etc. Always follow the instructions on your permit and travel advisories for more information.
