SIGNS, FLAGS & LIGHTS:

All movements exceeding 10′ in width and/or 75′ in length require “Oversize Load” at front and rear. Loads over 75’ overall length but not exceeding 85’ require a rotating or strobe type amber light on the end of the load. Red flags are required on overwidth loads front and rear, and top and bottom each side where load is widest (or at the widest point if it is between the top and bottom). Red flags must be placed at the extreme rear end of overlength loads or when there is over 4′ rear overhang. No sign or flag requirements are listed for overheight only loads. For overweight-only loads, you still need Oversize Load signs according to a scale officer, but the rules and regulations do not specify this.
