In vehicles not intended exclusively for the transport of goods, may the load protrude from the front?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
In vehicles that **are not exclusively intended for the transport of goods**, such as those that also carry passengers, the load **cannot protrude from the front**. This is because safety regulations stipulate that the load can only protrude from the rear of the vehicle, and only under certain conditions.
- **Divisible loads**: They can protrude up to **10% of the vehicle's length** from the rear.
- **Indivisible loads**: They can protrude up to **15% of the vehicle's length** from the rear.
Therefore, the load should never protrude from the front in this type of vehicle, thus ensuring the safety of passengers and other road users.
