N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol has restricted the movements of oversize and high-profile loads in areas affected by North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) travel alerts.

High winds and blowing snow are creating hazardous travel conditions throughout the Southwest Region of North Dakota. During inclement weather, operators of high profile vehicles, long-load type vehicles, and permitted over dimensional vehicles need to be aware of and abide with restriction movement laws.

North Dakota law restricts movement for these vehicles when wind or other conditions may cause the vehicle or attachment to swerve, whip, sway, or fail to follow in the path of the towing vehicle. Federal regulations require that the operation of commercial motor vehicles be discontinued when weather conditions become dangerous, and that they are not be resumed until the commercial motor vehicle can be safely operated.

For more information on the movement of oversize loads, visit nd.gov/ndhp or call 701-328-2621. All motorists are encouraged to monitor road conditions as weather conditions occur and use caution while traveling. For road information, call 511 or visit the NDDOT travel information map at www.dot.nd.gov.
