OSOM vehicles operating under the Multi-State Class 1 Load Carrying Vehicles Mass and/or Dimension Exemption Notices can use the available detours if they are suitable for their combination. Operators are reminded that under Schedule 8 of the Heavy Vehicle (Mass, Dimension and Loading) National Regulation (NSW), there is a requirement for the driver and operator to scope the proposed route prior to travel to ensure it is suitable for their vehicle.
OSOM vehicles operating under a specific permit are reminded that travel is only permitted on the roads listed in their permit. If travel is required on the detour, operators will need to contact the NHVR to request an amendment to the route on their permit.
Transport for NSW thanks operators for their patience during this time.
