Is it permitted to use a passenger car's roof rack to transport luggage?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is permitted. As a general rule, luggage should be placed in the trunk. However, if space is insufficient, the use of an exterior roof rack is allowed, provided that the load is placed and secured correctly. It must be secured in such a way that it cannot fall, shift dangerously, compromise the vehicle's stability, or obscure the lights or license plate. The answer referring to the number of passengers is incorrect, as the use of the roof rack is not conditional on vehicle occupancy.
