The North-West of Western Australia is full of mines for all sorts of minerals. This means some big equipment has to travel on the roads. For safety, there is a pilot car about three Kilometres in front and another just behind the monster.
This was 7.2 metres (about 24 ft) wide. The road is about 8 metres wide.
At first glance, this has nothing to do with “Narrow”.
But spare a thought for the other motorists on this road and the narrow section left for them to use.
If he is coming at you, get off the road like I did! He won’t leave much of it for you.

Nice adaption of the theme.

No kidding! A narrow path for us drivers! Wow. This is huge!. A ‘creature’ I’d not like to meet on the road.
Drop by and view my photo hunt if you can find time! Love to have you leave me a comment. Happy weekend to you.
When travelling on those roads they are all too common.

Ha, now I wouldn’t like to see two of those trying to pass on that road. Great take on this week’s theme. Happy weekend
Northbound and southbound overwidth vehicles are coordinated so that one can pull off the road at a suitable spot. This sort of transport is an industry in itself.

How fast is that over-sized vehicle going? That must be pretty intimidating; I hope the shoulders are wide enough so you don’t fall off the road!
They travel at pretty normal country speeds – between 90 and 100 Kmh – and often there is no shoulder – just a ditch to accommodate the heavy rains they have out there.

We have that problem often with people moving sectional housing. That thing is huge!
The sectional housing in this state is 4.2 metres wide – wide enough, but passable 🙂

This reminds me of the time I was ticked-off by the boss for stopping before a narrow bridge and giving way to an oncoming vehicle. Of course, I was driving one of these and I saw no sense in playing “chicken” with the other guy.
Oh wow – I would get out of your way – – –
And there are some cowboy road train drivers I would love to use that “stopper” on 🙂

I used to drive flat-deck back when stone axes were the latest in superweaponry. I had a share of the oversized loads, and have sworn that if I ever return to the road I will do nothing but “high, wide, and weird.”
It’s nerve-wracking getting used to a truck whose overall dimensions fluctuate by several feet per week, and the permit system may drive you nuts, but it pays better than any other sort of trucking, and it may be the only sector where you are stuck following the legal hours of service.
Lovely pic, thanks.
These large trucks are not allowed to travel after sunset or before dawn – so part of the day is spent looking for a large parking spot 🙂

When hauling a load that size, any road would seem narrow by contrast. I think this is a very creative use of the theme. Of course, my husband drove truck for 30 years, so anything having to do with trucking makes me feel at home. =)
Here’s my narrow.

that’s a big load (and a nice shot, too)…on roadtrips in America, I’ve seen tractors hauling houses that pretty much slow the highway down to a crawl.
There are a lot of them around here – Big mines, big equipment.
