encountered, where traffic is controlled by signals, or where other conditions may require, the spacing shall be reduced as may be required

to properly safeguard the traveling public. Pilot vehicles are under direct supervision of the operator of the vehicle to which the permit is

issued. Two-way radio communications between the oversize vehicle and the pilot vehicle(s) must be maintained at all times.

Pilot vehicles escorting oversize loads or vehicles are required to have the following equipment:

 Warning signs mounted above the roofline. The sign shall be at least 5 feet wide by 10 inches high; have black letters 8 inches high

with 1 inch brush stroke in accordance with Federal Highway Administration series B, on highway yellow background.

 Each pilot vehicle operator shall use warning flags to warn oncoming or overtaking traffic when the oversize unit is stopped and

obstructing traffic. Warning flags shall be two 18 inches square red/fluorescent orange flags mounted on 3 feet length staffs.

 In addition, eight safety flares or reflectors shall be carried in each pilot vehicle.

 **When height exceeds 14 feet 06 inches a front pilot vehicle is required, unless the permittee has filed a declaration with MCTD

assuming complete and total liability for any and all injury and damage that may result from the overheight movement. When required,

the front pilot vehicle must be equipped with a height pole that is constructed of material that is non-conductive and non-destructive to

overhead structures and which measures as high as the load being transported. The pilot vehicle must slow and have the height pole

deployed when crossing under a structure to allow time for the load to stop if the height pole strikes the structure. In an instance that

the height pole strikes a structure the pilot car must radio to the oversize vehicle instructions to pull over and cease movement. The

driver of the oversize vehicle shall call OD Permits at (503) 373-0000 immediately to obtain further routing advice. When not

required, the height pole must be down and secured to the pilot vehicle.

Pilot vehicles must have warning lights in addition to those lights that may otherwise be required by law. Warning lights shall be

displayed only during the course of the oversize movement, and at all other times the requirements found in ORS 816.350(7) shall apply.

These lights shall be mounted above the roof of the cab, be clearly visible from a distance of 500 feet, have a minimum of 30 flashes per

minute and be either: Two flashing amber lights as widely spaced laterally as is practical; revolving type amber light(s); or amber type

strobe light(s) with 360 degree visibility.

Pilot Vehicles –

shall be at the rear of the unit. When two pilot vehicles are required, one shall be in front and one shall be at the rear of the oversize

unit.

 When a pilot vehicle is required for height, it shall travel in the front.

 When the number of pilot vehicles specified on the permit is different than the number required below, the permit shall take
