S.D. Admin. R. 70:03:01:20.01
A lane at least ten feet wide must be allowed for normal traffic to pass an overwidth vehicle. Special traffic handling is required if the permit vehicle extends more than two feet into an adjacent driving lane or passing lane or if the width of the vehicle does not allow normal traffic to pass unless either the traffic or the permit vehicle drives on the roadway's shoulder. Special traffic handling may also be required if the permit vehicle has to perform special maneuvers in order to make turns, cross bridges, or clear height restrictions.
Special traffic handling includes escorts and flagpersons located in the front or rear of the vehicle, or both, or as required by the permit-issuing authority. The escorts and flagpersons shall stop, advise, or hold normal traffic until the permit vehicle has completed its special maneuver or it pulls off the road and stops to allow the normal traffic to pass.
