What is the maximum permissible height of a vehicle including load (excluding vehicles with farming or forestry products)?

In Germany, the maximum permissible height for most vehicles including their load is 4 meters. This limit ensures that vehicles can safely pass under bridges, tunnels, and other overhead structures on public roads. Vehicles carrying farming or forestry products may have different exceptions, but for general traffic, staying at or below 4 meters prevents accidents and infrastructure damage. Always check the vehicle's total height before driving to avoid violations and potential hazards.
