SA Escort Vehicle Regulations

In Saudi Arabia, oversize loads exceeding 2.6 meters wide or 4.5 meters tall require a special permit from the General Authority for Transport. Wide loads over 4 meters or heavy loads over 40 tonnes require police escort coordination through the Ministry of Interior. The Haramain zone around Makkah and Madinah requires advance clearance.
