Special vehicle traffic permit system and application

When large or heavy vehicles are allowed to pass on the road,

In order to protect road structures and traffic safety, the Road Act limits the size and weight of vehicles traveling on roads using standard values.

If a vehicle that exceeds this standard is allowed to pass on a road, it is stipulated by law that permission be obtained from the road administrator, so an application for permission is required, and the road administrator issues a permit. It has become a thing.

Applicant

[1] If you wish to travel only on roads owned by one road administrator from your departure point to your destination, apply at the window of that administrator.

[2] When the application route spans multiple road administrators, such as general national roads managed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and major local roads managed by prefectures,

　　　You can apply at any of the administrator's offices.

　　　(However, applications cannot be made to municipalities other than ordinance-designated cities.)

How to submit an application

For online applications, submit application data using the Internet.

In cases other than online applications, as a general rule, the applicant or his or her representative must go directly to the application counter and submit the documents.

Regarding general limit values ​​that serve as application criteria

The limits on the standard values ​​for the size and weight of passing vehicles stipulated by the Road Act are called "general limits," and these limits are called "general limits."

Even if the vehicle does not exceed the general limit, the width of the vehicle that can pass is restricted depending on the road structure. 

If a vehicle exceeding the general limit is allowed to pass without permission or in violation of the conditions, it will be a violation of the Road Act.
