Escort/Flagperson requirements
Escort requirements
A permittee transporting an oversize or overweight vehicle or load must use all escort vehicles required as a condition of special permit issuance. The Department will determine if one or more escort vehicles must accompany oversize or overweight special permitted vehicles by considering the following in relation to the proposed transport and route: roadway dynamics, overall dimensions of the vehicle and load, need for frequent stops, concern for public safety, and time of transport.
Escorts may be required in certain instances when transporting during nighttime hours or on weekends; see Travel Restrictions below for more details.
If two or more oversize or overweight special permitted vehicles are traveling together, the Department will require at least one escort vehicle per load.
If the Department requires law enforcement escorts, the permittee or driver of the oversize or overweight special permitted vehicle must:
- Contact the Arizona Department of Public Safety at least 12 hours before transport to request the appropriate number of uniformed certified law enforcement escorts required; and
- Ensure continuous two-way radio communication during transport with law enforcement and other escort vehicles.
If an Arizona Department of Public Safety is unable to provide law enforcement escorts, the permittee or driver of the permitted vehicle may use any uniformed certified law enforcement escorts if at least one officer is certified for enforcement of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations or the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Permittees of a projecting vehicle or load are required to have escorts as follows:
Load Conditions | Escort Requirements |
---|---|
Front load projection is longer than 20 ft | Front escort |
Rear load projection is longer than 20 ft | Rear escort |
Flagperson requirements
Escort vehicle operators that are trained and certified (as required by Arizona) may perform traffic control under guidelines developed by the Department of Transportation, the Department of Public Safety, and the transportation industry. Escort vehicle operators that perform traffic control must have in force a minimum level of commercial liability insurance that is no less than $500,000.
Escort car/company requirements
Escort vehicle operators must:
- Be at least 18 years of age;
- Have a valid driver's license; and
- Have a legible and valid escort vehicle operator certificate issued by Arizona or in another state in his/her immediate possession while operating as an escort vehicle that is escorting a permitted vehicle.
Escort vehicles must be either a passenger car or two-axle truck operating as a single unit with valid registration and insurance. During operation, the escort vehicle operator must maintain continuous illumination of headlights and overhead warning lights.
Escort vehicle operators must ensure continuous communication by two-way radio capable of transmitting and receiving a minimum of one-half mile and compatible with the two-way radios used by the driver of the escorted vehicle, law enforcement escorts (if applicable), and all other accompanying escort vehicles.
An escort vehicle operator must maintain a lead or follow distance from an escorted vehicle that generally does not exceed 1,500 feet on an open state highway or 250 feet in an urban setting. When determining the appropriate lead or follow distance, an escort vehicle operator must:
- Consider traffic density, road conditions, road type, speed, and type of load;
- Ensure constant radio communication with all escorts and the escorted vehicle; and
- Maintain visual contact with the escorted vehicle at all times.
If an oversize or overweight special permitted vehicle is required to stop at an intersection with a traffic control signal, the lead escort vehicle operator must resume an appropriate lead distance as soon as is safely possible. If the following escort vehicle is required to stop, the operator of the oversize or overweight special permitted vehicle must proceed without stopping. The following escort vehicle operator must resume an appropriate following distance behind the oversize or overweight special permitted vehicle as soon as is safely possible after clearing an intersection.
Escort certification
An escort vehicle operator, while in service, must meet the escort vehicle operator training and certification standards of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, including best practices in traffic control techniques on the road, or an equivalent program, whether in Arizona or another state, that meets the same objectives.
Training and certification must be repeated at least every four years.
Escort car signs, flags, and lights
Escort vehicles must carry the same emergency equipment required for a truck, truck-tractor, or bus under Arizona Revised Statutes § 28-960 (regarding flares and warning devices) and also 49 CFR 393.95 (regarding emergency equipment on power units), which includes:
- Fire extinguishers;
- Warning devices for stopped vehicles; and
- Emergency staff-mounted warning flags.
The OVERSIZE LOAD sign must measure at least one foot in height and at least five feet in length. The lettering must be at least six inches high (series “D”) and must be black with a minimum one-inch stroke on a yellow background. If the oversize load is to be transported during hours of darkness, the background of the sign must be reflectorized or illuminated.
An optional black border may be 3/8 inch thick and may be set in one-half inch from the panel edge. All signs in compliance with AASHTO standards are acceptable.
A sample OVERSIZE LOAD escort sign can be found in Arizona Administrative Code R17-6-302, available at https://roar-assets-auto.rbl.ms/documents/14771/17-06.pdf.
OVERSIZE LOAD signs on all escort vehicles must be mounted above the vehicle's roof line and visible to approaching traffic from the front and rear. Two warning flags must also be mounted on each side of the OVERSIZE LOAD sign. Signs must be concealed when not in use.
While in service, an escort vehicle operator must maintain continuous illumination of headlights and overhead warning lights.
Travel restrictions
