With the new weight limits, did the State of Illinois increase height, width and length laws??
The maximum height law did not change and is still 13 feet, 6 inches. The maximum width increased to 8 feet, 6 inches on all roads. The maximum lengths remained the same. If you are more than 1-mile from a National Network highway, you are subject to length limitations of that road and may be required to have oversize permits for access to and from your destination.
