How far may a labelled load protrude beyond the rear of your vehicle if your journey is more than 100 km?

According to German traffic rules, when transporting a load that extends beyond the rear of your vehicle, the maximum allowed protrusion for longer trips over 100 kilometers is 1.5 meters. This limit helps ensure safety on the road by preventing excessively long loads that could pose a hazard to other drivers. Loads extending further than 1.5 meters would require special permits or additional safety measures. Remembering this rule helps you manage and secure your cargo correctly during longer journeys.
