What are the maximum legal length, width, height, and weight limits allowed on roads, highways, or Interstates?
The legal maximum length, width, height, and weight permitted to travel, tow, or transport on local roads, highways, or Interstates in the United States and Canada are as follows.
Maximum legal limits
Notes: Always verify state/provincial legal limits prior to movement/transport.
These rules pertain to single personal vehicles (towed or otherwise), commercial motor vehicles including semi-tractors, trailers, and buses. Mirrors and certain safety devices (such as flags, etc.) may be permitted to protrude a "reasonable" distance further. Always obtain official consultation about any protrusion(s) you may have by contacting your state/provincial DOT office prior to any movement. Local city/county roads may vary from the maximum length/width/height/weight limits governed by federal guidelines.
Within the state of Hawaii commercial motor vehicles are permitted the following maximum width on all highways (unless otherwise posted on the road by sign): Standard: 9 feet or 108 inches. Metric: 2.74 meters or 274 centimeters.
These roads usually have signs posted that display the maximum legal width permitted without obtaining a special travel permit. You should always inquire about the maximum widths permitted by the governing body of the particular road prior to traveling on it in order to prevent a fine or worse. In some situations depending on the width of the vehicle or shipment size, a route survey will be required prior to being granted permission to travel.
Maximum width laws are created to protect motorists and public assets. Know the maximums.
The importance of setting maximum widths for vehicles.
Safety and protection of motorists and public property are the primary reasons regulations have been set for maximum vehicle length/width/height/weight limitations.
A standard was required based on the dimensions of the existing roads that would protect any/all persons operating a motor vehicle on highways, roads, and Interstates. It should be noted public property is placed at risk for damage as well. Should motorists accidentally hit one of the many existing obstructions such as guard rails, signs, traffic signal poles, etc. liability while ultimately is the motorists, if it is not reported the state is required to repair damages which then is passed on to the taxpayers in both the USA and Canada. So maximum widths were created to protect both human lives but public property as well.

Noteworthy information:
"Federal width limits do not apply to special mobile equipment, which consists of self-propelled vehicles not designed or used primarily for the transportation of persons or property and only incidentally moved over the highways. Special mobile equipment includes the following, when moving under their own power: military or farm equipment; instruments of husbandry; road construction or maintenance machinery; and emergency apparatus, including police and fire emergency equipment. Federal rules do not require States to issue overwidth permits before allowing the operation of special mobile equipment. However, if States wish to allow other vehicles more than 102 inches wide (i.e. non-special mobile equipment) to operate on the NN, then States must issue special overwidth permits." Reference Credit: FHWA website.
"The Federal Government first enacted size regulations for CMVs with the passage of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. This Act provided a maximum vehicle width of 96 inches (2.44 meters) on the Interstate highway system. Subsequently, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1976 increased the allowable width for buses to 102 inches (2.6 meters). The Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) of 1982 extended the same width requirement of 102 inches to commercial trucks. At the same time, the STAA expanded the highway network on which the Federal width provision applied from the Interstate to the National Network (NN) of highways." Reference Credit: FHWA website.

Nebraska oversize, heavy-haul trucking permits.
Nebraska oversize and heavy-haul trucking companies for hire.
Nebraska pilot car companies for hire.
Nebraska oversize and heavy-haul permits.
Nebraska maximum load limits until a trucking permit are required.
Length: Overall no longer than 85 feet on designated highways. The trailer length maximum is 53 feet.
Weight: 80,000 pounds GVW, 20,000 pounds on a single axle, 34,000 pounds on tandem axles.
Height: 13 feet and 6 inches
Overhang: No set rules, case-by-case. We figure 3 feet of front or rear should be safe but by no means is that policy. For clarification be sure to refer to your permit.
Notes: For documentation refer to Nebraska legal limitations for transport.
These maximum dimensions/weights are considered routine oversize or heavy-haul trucking permits in Texas:
Length: Up to 120 feet long is routine. Anything over will be assessed but limits are relaxed.
Weight: They do not use the federal bridge formula. 20,000 pounds per axle is the maximum. Anything over 110,000 pounds combined overall is going to be a superload. 20,000 pounds on a single axle, 40,000 pounds on tandem axles, 60,000 pounds on tridum axles, 80,000 pounds on quadem axles. A Dummy axle must carry a minimum of 8,000 pounds or 8% of the gross total weight.
Width: Figure up to 14 feet as a routine permit. They are strict on width and over 14 feet wide is going to be looked at as superload unless it's a light load. Case-by-case but if you are heavy you may need approval from Lincoln, NE (up to 5 days processing times).
Height: Up to 14 feet and 6 inches is considered routine and some routes may require a high pole. If you are over 16' feet a high pole is mandatory.
Nebraska superloads.
Requirements for extra-heavy or over-dimensional (superloads in NE):
For the purpose of this reading, you can figure superload dimensions are anything that is in excess of the dimensions or weights mentioned above in "routine". If you are close then it will be up to the state to determine if you must file for your permit as a superload or not. See actual Nebraska state oversize and heavy haul trucking laws.
Travel time is a half-hour before sunrise and a half-hour after sunset leniency rule. Weekend travel is permitted but they do have travel time restrictions around Lincoln, NE, and Omaha, NE during both weekdays and weekends. Travel is prohibited on most all holidays and the day after Thanksgiving.
Lights, safety flags, and warning signs for heavy haul and oversize loads.
All loads being shipped in Nebraska must be marked with oversize load signs shipments are also required to have square red or orange fluorescent flags on all four corners to include the power unit and must be 18 inches. Pilot cars or escort vehicles that are used during the shipment must have flags in the front if leading or the rear if chasing. One revolving amber light must be on the top of the power unit as well as on the top of the pilot car. All signs must be yellow and background with black letters no less than 10 inches in height. For nighttime moves on shipments that are in excess of 12 feet wide a light bar attachment is required to be mounted on the rear of the load at a height that is clearly visible by motorists approaching from the rear.
Length: 90' one on the rear. Over 100' needs a rear and a chase pilot car.
Width: They can impose a required pilot car for anything over 8' 6". In some cases, a lightbar can be used in lieu of a pilot car. Loads over 12 wide on 4 lanes are required one rear escort. A front is required for loads on 2 lane highway over 12' wide. Front and rear are required for loads over 14' wide. Front escort with a height pole is required for 14' 6" and over.
Height: Over 14' 6" needs a pilot car, may need height pole depending on the route.
Overhang: If over 15' one rear escort is needed.
Note: Allow 1 to 10 days for permits to be approved. Maximum speeds of 45 MPH if 4 or more lanes, 35 MPH is under 4 lanes. Also, read travel restrictions below.
All escort vehicles or pilot cars must be equipped with an amber light or light bar and must have a left and right side flashing or Rotary amber or yellow light of sufficient size that will be visible 360° from a distance of no less than 800 feet. Lights must be a minimum of 50 candle power bulbs. Lights must be no less than 6 inches in diameter.

Texas maximum load limits until a trucking permit are required:
Legal Loads:
Length: Trailer length maximum is 59 feet. The overall combined length maximum is 65 feet.
Width: 8 feet, 6 inches wide maximum.
Height: 14 feet tall maximum.
Weight: 80,000 pounds overall GVW, 20,000 pounds on single axles, 34,000 pounds on tandem axles, and 42,000 pounds on tridem axles.
Overhang: 4 feet in the rear and 2 feet in the front maximum.
Length: Up to 180 feet long or see the superload section.
Width: 20 feet wide on "routine" permits (Go Texas!) however only 16 feet wide on the interstates.
Height: 18 feet and 11 inches maximum for routine oversize trucking permits on state highways. Anything over this height is going to require a route survey.
Weight: up to 240,000 pounds for routine heavy haul trucking permits however if the shipment is in excess of 200,000 pounds with less than 95 feet of axle spacings you will have to apply for a heavy haul superload trucking permit. On single axles: 25,000 pounds. Tandem axles: 46,000 pounds. Tridum axles: 60,000 pounds and quadem axles: 63,000 pounds (confirmed May 31, 2018). 5 axles 73,260 pounds. Trunnion axles 54,000 pounds. On restricted routes: Single: 22,500 pounds, tandem: 41,400 pounds, tridum: 54,000 pounds, quad: 63,000 pounds, 5 axles 73,260 pounds, trunnion: 54,000 pounds. 5 axels gross weight 105,000, 6 axels: 119,000, 7 axles: 129,000 lbs, 8 axles depends on your axle configurations.
Overhang: Go again Texas DOT! The front overhang maximum is 25′ and the rear overhang maximum is 30′ in length for routine Texas oversize trucking permits. Nice job folks!
Notes: If over 125 feet in length, 20 feet wide, or 18 feet and 11 inches tall you will be required to have a route inspection. A flatbed trailer can not be used for a shipment that is considered a "wide-load" and an "over-height" load. Your permit will be rejected and you will lose your payment. If a shipment has 2 different oversize dimensions (ie; long and wide or wide and tall), then it automatically will be required to have 2 pilot cars or escort vehicles.
Texas superloads.
To keep this simple any shipment that exceeds the above dimensions/weights in the "Routine" section above will more than likely be classified as a superload shipment in the state of Texas. Superload permits issued in the state of Texas usually take at minimum 2 weeks time to be approved.
One half-hour before sunrise and one-half hour after sunset is considered daylight time. Nighttime travel is permitted in the state of Texas if the shipment is less than 100 feet long or 10 wide on the Interstate highways only. If the shipment is ONLY overweight it may travel at night on any roads. Weekend travel is permitted. You can travel on some holidays but there are some limits; if the length is in excess of 110′ long, height is in excess of 16′ or width in excess of 14′ you may NOT travel on the following holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
The Texas state DOT permit office is closed on these days as well. Texas does have quite a few travel time curfews in high-density traffic areas so be sure to refer to your permit. These typically range from 6-9 am and 3-6 pm (example only). Each permit issued by the Texas DOT will specifically state exactly what the curfew law is. No Texas state heavy haul or oversize trucking permit is valid without the specific curfew restrictions attached to it.
When transporting heavy haul and oversize loads the tractor-trailer unit must have its low beam headlights turned on at all times. Any shipment that extends from either side of the actual trailer width requires red or orange fluorescent warning flags that are no less than 16 inches square as well as red lights/lamps. If you are transporting anything that has a rear overhang in excess of 4 feet from the rear of the trailer you will be required to place two red lamps at each rear extreme corner. Red lights must be visible from a minimum distance of 500 feet. Any shipment over 8 feet and 6 inches wide will require a strobe and red lighting is an addition to warning flags. Trucks must have either 1 strobing amber light with a minimum base size of 8 inches or 2 simultaneous flashing amber lights mounted on the roof of the power unit. Signs must be applicable to the shipment being moved such as "oversize load", "long load", etc. Signs must be a minimum of 5 feet in width but no wider than 7 feet with a yellow background and black letters a minimum of 8 inches tall.
When pilot cars or escort vehciles are required.
Length: If a shipment is over 110′ in length and up to 125′ you will need 1 pilot car in the rear. Over 125′ in length requires 1 pilot car or escort vehicle in the front and 1 on the rear.
Width: Shipments 14 feet to 16 feet wide will require 1 pilot car vehicle in front on a 2 lane road and 1 on the rear on a 4 lane road. If a shipment is in excess of 16 feet, 1 front and 1 rear pilot car or escort vehicle will be required on all shipments on all roads and highways.
Height: If the height of the load exceeds 17′ a front high pole car is required. If the shipment is over 18′ in height you will be required to have 1 high pole and 1 rear escort.
Weight: If the shipment is able to maintain minimum speeds no escort vehicle is required.
Overhang: Front overhang up to 20 feet on some 2 land roads will require 1 pilot car or escort vehicle in the front. On a 4 lane front overhang, up to 25 feet requires 1 pilot car (escort) on the rear. Rear overhang; over 20 feet but not more than 30 feet requires one pilot car (escort) on the rear of shipment. If over 30 feet of overhang 2 pilot cars or escort vehicles will be required and you will need to get special approval for the permit to be issued.
At the date of this publish (06/20/18) there are no certifications required by the state of Texas for pilot car or escort vehicle operators. Vehicle requirements: All pilot cars/escort vehicles must display either both bumpers or 1 roof-mounted "OVERSIZE LOAD" or "WIDELOAD" sign (whichever is applicable) visible from both the front and rear of the vehicle and only displayed while working. The sign must be at least 5′ long but no greater than 7′ and 12″ in height but no greater than 18″ in height, yellow in color with black letters no less than 8″ in height but no more than 10″ in height and lettering must be a minimum of 1.4″ in width. Vehicle must be equipped with 2 horizontally mounted rotating (if rotating 8″ base is required) (or strobe) amber-colored flashing or strobe light which must be visible from a 360-degree angle from a minimum of 500 feet. Vehicles must be equipped with a CB radio or 2-way communication device and be in constant communication with all parties assigned to the movement.
It is only our express opinion that pilot cars also have a minimum of the additional items but not required: 2 – 5 pound fire extinguishers type A, B, and C, a paddle sign with the word "STOP" on one side and "SLOW" on the other with dimensions of no less than 18″ in diameter with a minimum of 6″ letters. A red safety colored flag with a handle no less than 18″ square, 3 reflective emergency road triangles or 18″ traffic cones, 8 burning road flares, 2 OVERSIZE LOAD banners (yellow with black lettering), and a safety colored (red, orange, yellow or lime green) vest, jacket or shirt (used while directing traffic).

Q: including headers files getting compilation errors I don't know if I have a circular inclusion problem or not.  I have three headers files:
file A:  needs files B and C
file B:  needs file A
file C:  needs files A and B

I've tried different ways of including files, and have include guards on each header file.  But I still get compilation errors with each way I try. Is it possible to make this work with includes?

A: You have clearly described a circular dependency.  Have you tried using forward declarations?

Meet the Badass All-Female Fire Breathers That Make Up The Hive [INTERVIEW]
Jonathan Ortiz August 13, 2018
ALLEDITORS PICKINTERVIEWS Comments 0
It's insane how mesmerizing a hard-trained craft performed right before your eyes can be. Following their countless hours of practice expressed in the fluidity of their movements, the controlled caution hidden behind a calm face, and next-level precision executed effortlessly like second nature.
That's what's so cool about The Hive, a badass group of woman fire-breathers (in-fact the world's FIRST all-female fire-breathing collective) doing what they love, doing it right, and empowering their peers to do the same. The FDNY certified performers have made their rounds to events and festivals worldwide on a mission to support and inspire fellow females, unabashedly express their sexuality, and develop a community of women who seek the same. Their philosophy is fierce, and only their strong-minded co-founder Victoria Zajac and her fire-breathing assistant producer Felix Morrison can do it the proper justice.
When did you start performing with fire, and how did that lead to establishing The Hive?
VZ: I've been fire performing for about 6 years now. The Hive was started by me and co-founder, Nora Kay, basically to provide a platform to empower and give a space for women to express their sexuality by their own terms and with the backing of an element that is so brilliant and powerful like fire.
We really wanted to inspire women to be able to push off their own fear and harness the parts of them that we all know exist within them, and inspire them to do that every day, via fire performing or just doing something that make you anxious or afraid, identifying where that comes from and moving through it. Every woman and every female-identifying human, and all human beings really, are capable of so much more than they allow themselves to be.
Is that something you went through, having to push yourself to do something you weren't quite comfortable with?
VZ: Well I had really bad anxiety as a child and in my early twenties to the point where I couldn't even do anything alone. I couldn't travel, I couldn't take the bus I had a hard time going to classes. I didn't really get rid of that anxiety or find coping mechanisms for that anxiety until I found fire and movement. And if I could do that, if I could find a way to push past all of that self-doubt and all that anxiety, it's true and apparent to me that anybody can.
How does the name "The Hive" fall in line with the goals and ideals of your collective?
VZ: The Hive name came from a speech at our first gig before The Hive was even established. We were actually going to be "Wick Appetite." And then the woman whose birthday party we were at ended up giving a speech about the decadence and the femininity and the opulence of honey, and how bees as a community and hives operate with a queen and a female leader.
It's kind of funny because we picked that name because it sounds great, and honey was a really easy metaphor for fire. It was two of us and then we brought on Felix, and after that we expanded to about a 10-person team, and now it's actually a hive and a hub of creativity where all these women are able to express themselves.
We're all over the country and all over Canada, so we send our bees and our fire dragon babes to different parts of the world to perform the acts that we've all constructed and worked on, then we all meet together and come back together as The Hive!
Being an all-female collective, what do you want to show the world, or even yourselves, through your performances?
VZ: So much. We just want to be able to take back our own sexuality and take back our own power in a way that lets other women know that, no matter what end of the spectrum your sexuality and your femininity lies on, it's all okay. To let people know that there's a beautiful dichotomy that can exist between sexualities, femininity, and power, and we just want to blow minds and inspire women to represent themselves the way that they want to represent themselves without any fear or shame, and let them know that they can take up space in the world without having to shrink themselves. In fact, they should be getting bigger and louder and more combustible and explosive because now is the time to push those boundaries and push societal boundaries, and to let people know that the time for women is now.
Tell me about this upcoming Fire and Movement Retreat in October.
VZ: Our intention is to make it a regular thing. We found there was a need in the community for an all-female space, and that's not necessary for some women in the community but it is very necessary for others. And we chose to enable women who felt like they needed that space by creating our own.
It's on a beautiful art farm in Upstate New York from October 5 to the 7, we're going to have all badass workshop leaders, all-female line up, all-female ran down to the Porta Potties (we're using a female company for them!).
Basically, we want to be able to bring women together to meet each other in a non-competitive environment. Performing can be really competitive; fire in particular tends to bring out a lot of egos sometimes. And we just want to create a safe space that allows women to be just exactly who they are and be who they want to be in an environment that fosters learning and creativity.
Do you feel creativity flourishes a little better when there's a little less tension and competition involved?
VZ: Absolutely. One of our biggest platforms is that were not a competitive company. We work with the community to find out what peoples' rates are, we never undercut, and we're always paid. We never take free gigs, which enables the community to value themselves more. If people want to take free gigs that's their choice but we're never going to take food out of a performers mouths because we want to be on stage.
We want to foster the community, and we want to build it up. And obviously we put a lot of ourselves into this, and when we're valued and respected we're more able to create and be weird and avant garde.
FM: If you create a safe space where someone feels they can be whatever they are, show whatever wounds or whatever delicate sides inside of them without judgement or competition or anything on stage, they can really tap into those and create really big, beautiful, brave things.
What is it about fire, conceptually, visually, or physically, that you think is so alluring?
VZ: The fact that it's something that human beings have been programmed to fear evolutionarily and psychologically and since the beginning of creation. There's no feeling like being able to manipulate it, tap into it, harness it, and respect it.
FM: It's a symbol and a feeling of fear and power. So many of us are tied by stories of reclamation in a physical, emotional, or sexual way and we convey that journey and the pain that we've gone through harnessing this powerful element.
When you breathe fire it's so loud, it's so hot, its' so bright, and you're controlling it and you're breathing out from your own living body into the world in front of you and it's a very powerful way to convey a story in a visual, emotive, and connectible way for other people to feel cathartically and to go through that journey with you.
Are there any upcoming performances your project that you guys are very excited about?
VZ: We're about what about to collaborate with a bunch of heavy-hitting female producers from Brooklyn and LA, as well as travel the world but that's about all we could say right now.
What about any favorite past performances?
VZ: We've had a bunch of really fun performances. It's kind of hard to pick because they're all so beautiful and different. But, I think one of our favorite performances recently was at Valhalla Sound Circus, there's a recap video with us all standing in line as the bass is dropping. The finale is lighting my sword and the sword just erupts in flames as the beat drops, and we're just like on a stage in front of 3000 people just being powerful and the timing was perfect and the feeling and the energy and the receptivity of the crowd was so perfect.
What would you say to somebody who is hesitant about getting into fire performing, but really wants to?
FM: That it's something that's truly powerful and, by its very nature, dangerous. That's so much of its appeal and because of its capacity for change, healing, and power, you're right to have fear around it. It's so, so important to follow the proper channels to seek out teachers with a good reputation and proper experience who follow the proper protocols.
VZ: Never teach yourself alone, there's a network of fire performers that are also instructors. It's very important to know that not all fire performers are able to instruct. I have told my team time and time again: no one is allowed to instruct fire with the exception of Felix, who has been eating for about 6 years. But there are people who are amazing instructors that you can always reach out to. There's a Facebook group, Fire Breathers and Eaters, just a quick google search can show you who your fire instructors are in the area.
Not gonna lie, you both have some extremely well-thought out answers in terms of your personal philosophies.
FM: It's because we're speaking about something that has such deep meaning to us personally and transformatively. It's our art and it's out story of what we've fought through, we have so many truths to tell through it and that it follows naturally that we have a lot of truths to tell about it.
VZ: This is our fucking life! We're not hobbyists, we don't do this as a side gig. We have dropped everything, and almost every single member of my team has dropped everything at one point to give to the fire community to give fire to The Hive and to lend themselves to our vision and our brand and our purpose. And when you see that kind of commitment and dedication, the truth is apparent.
FM: We keep each other inspired by that, too. It's so important that they're not just coworkers, we are family. We all take genuine care of each other as people, as well as keep the inspiration going. We continue to be daring and trust each other and we love each other, and we put our lives in each other's hands every time we go on stage and that foundation of trust is paramount to what we do. ◆
