Heavy vehicles chartIn NSW heavy vehicles are categorised as ‘general access’ or ‘restricted access’ vehicles, dependent on the vehicle mass, dimension and configuration or a combination of all three. General access vehicles have unrestricted access to the NSW road system. General access vehicles are those that do not exceed 2.5 metres in width, 12.5 metres in length (rigid truck) or 19 metres (articulated combination), 4.3 metres in height and the General Mass Limit (GML) value shown in the chart.This document provides information about the common types of General Access, Restricted Access and Performance Based Standards (PBS) vehicle combinations that can operate on NSW roads.
Different levels of access apply to all vehicle combinations depending on their mass, dimension or performance. All vehicle combinations must meet the respective requirements and conditions of the NSW road network.
When access for a particular vehicle type is not clear, operators should seek advice from the relevant road manager or National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) before travelling along the route.
Enforceable network maps and approved road lists for heavy vehicles, special purpose vehicles and load carrying vehicles are available at rms.nsw.gov.au/hv-maps.
