Cheyenne Reminds Residents: Oversize Vehicle Restrictions Start Saturday

The City of Cheyenne reminds city residents that the oversize vehicle restrictions approved by the Cheyenne City Council in 2024 will take effect on Saturday, Sept. 12.

Under the ordinance, oversize vehicles are defined as "any vehicle or trailer or combination that exceeds 25 feet in length, 9 feet in height, or 8.5 feet in width. Mirrors, lights, and other safety features on a vehicle do not contribute to this limit,"

That's according to a City of Cheyenne news release. The release says, "Vehicles modified to be accessible to those with disabilities, tractor units that are part of a semi-truck, and food trucks are exempt from the seasonal restriction"

People Can Report Violations To Cheyenne Police

People can report violations of the ordinance to the Cheyenne Police Department by emailing cpdcso@cheyennepd.org or by calling non-emergency dispatch at 307-632-6525,

Temporary permits will be available through the City Clerk's Office. The five-day permits cost $15 and must be requested five days in advance. No more than two of the permits will be allowed in any 30 days.

Oversize vehicles also need to follow the same rules as other vehicles parked on Cheyenne streets, according to the release. Those rules include:

• Vehicles may not leave less than 10 feet of space for traffic on a street.
• Vehicles must have current registration.
• Vehicles must be in operable condition and cannot be resting on jacks, blocks, or other devices unless being actively repaired.
• Vehicles may not block or park within 5 feet of driveways, except the owner’s own driveway.
• Vehicles may not be parked on or blocking a sidewalk.
• Vehicles must be parked at least 30 feet from an intersection and may not block fire hydrants.
