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

The maximum allowed height for vehicles on German roads, including any load, is 4 meters unless you are transporting agricultural or forestry products with special regulations. This rule is in place to ensure that vehicles can safely pass under bridges, through tunnels, and beneath power lines. If a vehicle, including its load, is higher than 4 meters, it is not permitted to use standard public roads. Always check your vehicle's height before starting your journey, especially if you are carrying tall cargo.
