Solar Eclipse Oversize Restrictions? Yes, It’s Going to Be a Thing

(April 4, 2024) - On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk. As a result, some states have enforced oversize travel restrictions with more coming as the solar eclipse approaches. Starting in Texas at around 1:30 p.m. CDT, the eclipse will occur in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and finally in Maine at 3:30 p.m. EDT. Small parts of Tennessee and Michigan may also experience the total solar eclipse. For an updated list of states and restrictions, click here. For more information, contact Chris Smith.
