Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

General Traffic Regulations establish strict rules regarding load arrangement. The load must not fall, shift dangerously, or compromise the vehicle's stability. Specifically for materials that release dust or cause nuisances, the rule requires covering them completely and effectively (for example, using suitable tarpaulins). This is necessary to prevent particles from dispersing into the air, which could reduce visibility for other drivers or damage the road. Simply reducing speed does not prevent wind from lifting the dust, and using a specifically closed trailer is not mandatory as long as the load is effectively covered in an open one.
