In most jurisdictions across North America, including Canada, the maximum legal width for a vehicle or load without a permit is 8 feet 6 inches (2.6 meters). Anything wider than this is classified as a wide or oversized load and requires a special permit to travel on public roads.
In the Northwest Territories (NWT), you must obtain a permit before entering the region if your vehicle or load exceeds legal dimensions or weight. There are two main types of permits:
– Single Trip Permits: for one-time movements of oversized or overweight loads.
– Annual Permits: for repeated movements over a year.
