Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
For **vehicles measuring 5 meters or less in length** and transporting indivisible loads, such as pipes or beams, the load may protrude up to **one-third of the vehicle's length** both at the front and the rear. This means that if a truck measures, for example, 3 meters, the load can protrude 1 meter at each end.
This rule is specific to shorter vehicles, as for vehicles measuring more than 5 meters, the regulations change and allow the load to protrude 2 meters at the front and 3 meters at the rear. However, in the case of shorter trucks, the one-third proportion is applied, ensuring that the load does not exceed the permitted limits and that road safety is maintained.
