Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Virginia
- Seasonal conditions
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and Hampton Roads and the Tidewater coast can face storm surge, flooding and closures of low-lying roads, bridges and tunnels.
Under the state hauling permit regulation, permitted vehicles are not authorized to operate when weather, visibility or road conditions make travel hazardous, and law enforcement judgment prevails.
Snow, ice and fog can slow the mountain sections of I-81, I-77 and I-64 in western Virginia in winter.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
