Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish that, as a general rule, the load must not protrude beyond the plan projection of the vehicle. However, on vehicles intended exclusively for the transport of goods with a length of more than 5 meters that carry indivisible loads, the load is exceptionally allowed to protrude up to 2 meters at the front and up to 3 meters at the rear. Since the truck measures 7 meters and the indivisible beam 9 meters, the total overhang is 2 meters, so it falls well within the regulatory limits without requiring special permits, provided that it is properly marked.
