On a rigid truck 12 meters long, is it permitted to transport telephone poles 13 meters long?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A rigid truck is a motor vehicle, and its maximum authorized length is 12 meters including the load (General Vehicle Regulations, Annex IX, table 3); the tolerance for indivisible bars, beams or pipes in that table is provided only for articulated vehicles. The General Traffic Regulations provide that in no case will the length of the vehicle and its load exceed that set in the regulations governing vehicles, and that an indivisible load that inevitably exceeds it must travel with authorization (Article 13), which is granted by the body competent in traffic matters (General Vehicle Regulations, Article 14(2)). Poles 13 meters long necessarily make the loaded truck exceed 12 meters, so they must not be transported freely. Placing them protruding at the rear does not solve it either, because the total length of the truck with its load would still exceed that limit.
