In other cases at the decision of the official (the information will be visible in the permit).

Police escort or substitute services
Of what parameters?
Usually when exceeding 25m / 30m x 3.5m / 4m x 4.5m – 65t
In other cases, it all depends on the route – a police pilot may be required even with smaller dimensions, where theoretically only a civilian pilot should be sufficient (information about the police pilot will be visible in the permit – each time at the decision of the official).
The police may also be required below 4.5 m in height when passing through some tunnels (information about the police pilot will be visible in the permit – each time at the decision of the official).
