Guided Tours

In Finland, the number of escorts is determined based on the width and/or length of the load. The table below lists the lengths horizontally and the widths vertically, based on which the number of escorts is determined. With regard to height, one escort is required for loads five meters or taller; any additional escorts are determined based on the length and width.
