26 Definitions
Note: These Regulations give effect to a national set of procedures under which vehicles and combinations that are too large or too heavy to be allowed general access to the road network, other than those to which the Oversize and Overmass Vehicles Regulations apply, are given restricted access.
 Authorities may grant access by issuing a notice or granting a permit setting out the class of vehicles or combinations covered, the areas in which they may travel, and the conditions of travel.
 The Regulations enable routes and times to be specified for vehicles and combinations that conform to the mass and dimension limits set by the Vehicle Standards Regulations and the Mass and Loading Regulations. Road trains and B‑doubles are in this category.
 Provision is also made for exemptions to be granted by notice or permit for non‑conforming vehicles and combinations carrying divisible loads. However, a higher onus is required to be satisfied in such cases.
 The vehicles and combinations covered by the Oversize and Overmass Vehicles Regulations that are specifically excluded from these Regulations, are:
 special purpose vehicles such as mobile cranes, concrete pumps and fire trucks;
 vehicles and combinations including low loader and load platform combinations designed to carry or carrying large indivisible items (but excluding B‑doubles, road trains and container transport);
 agricultural machines and implements.
