What is the maximum distance a load may project backwards beyond the rear reflectors without a projection marker being necessary?

In Germany, traffic regulations specify safety standards for vehicles and their loads to ensure the safety of all road users. The rule regarding the maximum projection of a load beyond the rear reflectors is designed to prevent accidents caused by unmarked or improperly secured loads.

When a load projects more than the specified limit, in this case, 1 meter, it requires additional safety measures such as a projection marker. This is to alert other drivers of potential hazards. Having the correct understanding of these regulations is crucial for compliance and safety on the road. Always ensure that any load adheres to these rules to avoid penalties and enhance safety for everyone.
