In a vehicle intended for the transport of goods, how much can an indivisible load protrude on each side at most?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Regulations state that in vehicles intended for the transport of goods, if the smaller dimension of an indivisible load exceeds the width of the vehicle, it may protrude up to 0.40 meters on each side. However, there is an important limitation: the total width of the vehicle plus the load cannot exceed 2.55 meters. It is important not to confuse this rule with that of private cars (where the load cannot protrude laterally) or motorcycles (where it is measured from the axle).
