Transport exemption for abnormal road transports

There are weight and dimension regulations applicable to Sweden for vehicles. If a vehicle or vehicle combination, loaded or unloaded, must be wider, longer, or heavier than the basic regulations allow, you can apply for an excemption for that transport.

In Chapter 4 of the Traffic Ordinance (SFS 1998:1276), there are regulations on the weight, width, and length applicable to Sweden. On the Swedish Transport Agency's website, there is a publication called "Legal loading", where you can find information on weight and dimension regulations for heavy vehicles.
