Who sets vehicle limits and restrictions for highway movements?

• A. Civilian Police
• B. State Movement Control Center
• C. State Department of Transportation
• D. UMC

Answer: (C)

Limits and restrictions for highway movements are set by the State Department of Transportation. They regulate road use by establishing weight and dimension limits, height and width restrictions, and axle configurations, and they issue oversize/overweight permits for vehicles traveling on state roads. They also coordinate with law enforcement and other agencies to manage escorts, closures, and route restrictions during moves that require special authorization. Civilian police enforce rules but do not set the broad limits; a State Movement Control Center is typically a planning/control entity rather than the regulatory body for highway limits; UMC isn’t the applicable authority here.
