Which Local Sources Matter In Chicago?
Use CDOT’s permit resources for that authorization question; Cook County haul permits apply to county-jurisdiction highways.
- City of Chicago Height and Weight Limits for Trucks and Large Vehicles — Data.gov Metadata — This official City of Chicago dataset metadata, last updated October 9, 2026, distinguishes physical restrictions from permit requirements. It explicitly says the dataset and Chicago Traffic Tracker are not the source for deciding whether a city permit is required.
- Chicago Online Permit Portal — The city-owned dataset metadata directs users to this CDOT portal for roadway restrictions and permit requirements. The portal body was not readable in this research tool.
- Cook County Haul Permits — Cook County issues permits only for highways under county jurisdiction and provides a jurisdiction map. This does not substitute for City of Chicago approval.
