What is the permitted height of a vehicle including load (excluding vehicles with agricultural or forestry products)?

In Germany, the maximum permitted height for a vehicle including its load is generally 4.0 meters. This limit ensures safe passage under bridges, tunnels, and other overhead structures on public roads. Vehicles carrying agricultural or forestry products may have different specific regulations, but for standard vehicles the 4.0-meter height limit applies. Choosing option 1 is correct because it adheres to this legal height restriction, helping to prevent accidents or damage caused by over-height vehicles.
