When driving a rigid 3-axle truck that is 12 meters long, how may the transported load protrude as a general rule?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, the load must not protrude beyond the plan projection of the vehicle, that is, neither at the front nor at the rear (General Traffic Regulations, Article 15(1)). There are only specific exceptions, such as indivisible loads of beams, poles or tubes on vehicles intended exclusively for the transport of goods, which may protrude up to 2 meters at the front and 3 at the rear, always with the load securing conditions, the V-20 sign and the precautions laid down by the regulation; they are not the general rule posed by the question. That is why it is not correct to say that the load may protrude 2 meters at the front and 3 at the rear as a general rule, nor that one meter at the rear is permitted.
