Is it permitted for the load of a car to protrude on the sides?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
The **load of a passenger car** (vehicle that transports passengers) **cannot protrude from the sides**. This is because, according to the regulations, the load in vehicles that also transport people must not extend beyond the lateral limits of the vehicle.
- The load can only protrude from the rear, and only under certain specific conditions. For example, if the load can be divided into smaller parts, it can protrude a maximum of 10% of the vehicle's length. If it cannot be divided, it can protrude a maximum of 15%.
- In contrast, vehicles designed exclusively for transporting goods have different rules and may allow the load to protrude from the sides, but this does not apply to passenger cars.
Therefore, the correct answer is that **it is not allowed for the load of a passenger car to protrude from the sides**.
