Abnormal transport permits in South Africa are essential for moving loads or vehicles that exceed the legal dimensions or mass limits as defined by the National Road Traffic Act (Act 93 of 1996)
These permits allow the transportation of indivisible loads that cannot be dismantled without disproportionate effort, expense, or risk of damage. Applications are submitted to the relevant provincial authorities. The process involves providing detailed information about the load, vehicle, and route. Approval may require prior consultation with transport consultants or engineers.
Regulations
The permits are issued under strict guidelines to ensure road safety and minimize disruption to traffic.
