An Oversize/Overweight Annual Permit (O/O Annual) allows for the hauling of oversize/overweight loads during the period permitted, as defined by the Highway Traffic Act (HTA), that are within the specified maximum weights and dimensions permitted, and that are also subject to seasonal, fixed and temporary load restrictions.

Additional Conditions and Comments

Whereas Section 110 of the Highway Traffic Act R.S.O. 1990, Chapter H.8, as amended, limits the size and weight of loaded vehicles travelling on Highways including County Roads, permits may be issued (by municipalities) under certain conditions and circumstances allowing for the moving of loaded vehicles which exceed the legal size and/or weight.
