Unlike many states and provinces in Canada that implement frost laws, the State of California does not enforce any specific seasonal weight restrictions. However, weather-related limitations may still be included in the California oversize load permits depending on the type and nature of the load being transported.
California uses three levels of chain enforcement:
o R1: Tire chains must be used on all vehicles unless the vehicle is a passenger car or a light-duty truck (weighing less than 6,000 pounds) equipped with snow tires on at least two driven wheels. These vehicles must still carry chains.
o R2: Chains are required for all vehicles except four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles equipped with snow tires on all wheels. These vehicles must also carry chains.
o R3: Chains or traction devices are required on all vehicles without exception. This is the strictest level.
Oversize permits are required for vehicles exceeding 8’6” wide, 14’ high, 65’ long, or 80,000lbs gross weight. Applicants must provide vehicle details, load dimensions, travel routes, and dates, may require escorts, route surveys, and restricted travel times. Local permits may also be needed for city/county roads.
