QA Escort Vehicle Regulations

In Qatar, oversize loads require a special transport permit from Ashghal (the Public Works Authority). Loads wider than 2.6 meters or exceeding 40 tonnes need permits with escort requirements determined by Ashghal. Wide loads over 4 meters or those entering Doha city centre need Qatar Traffic Police coordination. Strategic Qatar Petroleum routes require 72 hours advance notice.
