Single Trip Pilot Car Maps
The single trip pilot car maps serve as a visual guide for determining how many pilot cars are required for a given oversized load when traveling on a California state highway. The maps are separated by Caltrans district, starting with District 1 and ending with District 12. Pilot car requirements vary by route and are represented in five distinct colors (from least to most restrictive): yellow, green, blue, brown, and red. The legend provides further information on whether one or two pilot cars are required when specific load dimensions are met.
