Up to what height is a load not allowed to project over the front of the vehicle?

According to German traffic regulations, particularly the Road Traffic Act (Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung), loads that extend beyond the front of a vehicle are subject to specific height restrictions for safety reasons. The limit set at 2.5 meters is meant to prevent dangerous situations that might arise from oversized loads obstructing visibility or contributing to traffic accidents.

Ensuring that loads do not exceed this height helps maintain clear sightlines for both drivers and pedestrians, which is crucial for safe navigation on roads. Additionally, adhering to these regulations helps avoid fines and legal issues that may arise from improper load management. Understanding and following these rules is essential for ensuring your safety and that of others on the road.
