Oversize load holiday, weekend, night and city curfew restrictions by state
When a permitted oversize or overweight load may not move, for all 50 states, DC and 25 freight metros. Each rule is dated and links to the state or city source.
Last reviewed . A summary in our own words of each state and city rule, not legal advice. The permit you are issued governs.
Thanksgiving 2026
- No Thanksgiving bar for ordinary oversize loads in Kansas, Kentucky, South Dakota, Iowa, Alaska and Colorado. Colorado restricts only longer vehicle combinations that day.
- The holiday itself only in Texas (loads over 14 ft wide, 16 ft high or 110 ft long), Oklahoma, New Mexico and Vermont. South Carolina bars the day and may print a noon to noon window on the permit. Pennsylvania and New Jersey add Wednesday, November 25; New Hampshire adds Friday, November 27.
- From noon Wednesday, November 25 in most other states, including Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Virginia and Washington.
- Through Monday morning, November 30 in Alabama (from sunset Wednesday), Connecticut, Nebraska and Oregon (from noon Wednesday).
- Two windows in Wisconsin for loads over 12 ft wide, 13 ft 6 in high or 150 ft long: noon Wednesday to sunrise Friday, then noon Friday to sunrise Monday for the gun deer closing weekend. Friday from sunrise to noon is open.
Weekend rules stretch many of these windows. Read the state's row before you plan a Friday move. For the exact 2026 window in every state, see Thanksgiving 2026 oversize load restrictions by state.
Where the sources disagree
Two official sources say different things in these places. We show the stricter reading first; confirm with the state before you rely on the other one.
Atlanta, inside I-285
Stay off the road inside I-285 from 6 to 9 a.m. and from 3 to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, unless picking up or delivering there. That covers both readings below.
- No travel 7 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 672-2-.02(4)
- No travel 6 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday. The page is undated. GDOT Oversize Permits page
Vermont, weekends and holidays
Treat loads over 10 ft 6 in wide, 100 ft long or 108,000 lb as barred on Saturdays, Sundays and the listed holidays, and from July 1 to Labor Day also on Friday afternoons. Confirm with Vermont Commercial Vehicle Operations before you plan around the looser reading.
- The bar starts over 10 ft 6 in wide, and adds Friday afternoons from July 1 to Labor Day. Vermont DMV permit FAQ
- The bar starts over 12 ft wide, with no Friday rule. Vermont DMV permit rules page
Illinois Tollway
Plan on a 10 ft width limit on most of the Tollway (12 ft on the I-80 and US 51 sections), and get the permit from the Tollway, not IDOT.
- Most toll roads top out at 10 ft wide, 12 ft on the I-80 and US 51 sections. 92 Ill. Adm. Code 554.504(c)
- Most toll roads top out at 12 ft wide and 14 ft 6 in high. 92 Ill. Adm. Code 554.312(a)

Questions dispatchers ask
- Can I move an oversize load on Thanksgiving?
- In most states, no. Kansas, Kentucky and South Dakota have no holiday bar for ordinary oversize loads, and Iowa, Alaska and Colorado restrict only Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. Elsewhere most states bar oversize loads on Thanksgiving, often only above a set width, height or length or off certain routes, and the bar most often starts at noon the day before. In Connecticut, Nebraska and Oregon it runs from noon Wednesday to Monday morning, and in Alabama from sunset Wednesday to sunrise Monday.
- Which states let oversize loads move on weekends?
- Several. No statewide weekend bar was found in Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington or South Dakota, though some Texas towns bar weekend moves and Tennessee keeps mobile homes off the road on Sundays. Many others bar Saturday afternoon through Sunday, or Sunday only, often only above a width. Check the Weekends column for each state.
- Can oversize loads travel at night?
- Usually not. Most states allow wide loads only from about half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset, and a few allow night moves for overweight-only loads or by a permit that says so. The Night column gives each state rule.
- Do cities have their own oversize curfews?
- Yes. Most metro curfews bar weekday moves from 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m., set by the state, and some cities add their own permit or hours on city streets. Los Angeles, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Columbus, New Orleans and Seattle have rules worth reading before you route through them.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. It is a dated summary, in our own words, of each state and city source linked beside it. The permit you are issued governs, and a state can change its dates at any time.
How this was checked
On October 30, 2026 we read each state's permit rules, its holiday calendar where it publishes one, and the curfew rules of the 25 metros, then checked every holiday date against a calendar. This page holds 324 rules. We re-check the yearly calendars in mid-December. Found something wrong or out of date? Tell us at hello@thirteensix.com.
