May a passenger car transport load on the roof rack situated on the vehicle's roof?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is allowed. According to General Traffic Regulations, the load should preferably go in the trunk, but if this is insufficient, the roof rack may be used. The fundamental condition is that the load must be arranged and secured in such a way that it cannot fall, shift dangerously, or compromise the vehicle's stability. The other options are incorrect: it is not prohibited (it is a legal use of the roof rack) and there is no time restriction (such as driving only during the day) for carrying luggage on the roof.
