It is important for every driver to know how to transport the load in his car to the place he wants safely
As a driver, you must take caution and take safety steps while transporting a load with you
When transporting a load in times of darkness, you must mark the load that protrudes from the front and back as well
The signs are as follows
- If the load is visible from the front, the load must be marked with a white light and a white reflector
- If the load is visible from behind, the load must be marked with a red light and a red reflector
The load is marked during the day with a clearly colored sign that is clearly visible to the other driver
Reflectors must also be placed in a place where normal lights can reach them so that they can be reflected well by people coming from the front and seeing them well.
The width of a personal vehicle traveling on the road must not exceed 260 cm, and the load is allowed to protrude from each side by only 20 cm.
- The maximum width of the protruding load is 20 cm on each side
- The maximum width of the whole car is 260 cm
Example in this picture
The red stripe is 260 cm wide when the vehicle is fully loaded
The small arrows at the bottom are 20 cm from each side
The load must not protrude from one side more than 20 cm
The load must be well adjusted, arranged and fixed and ensured that it does not move from its place
If the car is more than 260 cm wide, in this case the driver should not drive it on the road.
The length of the car is allowed to be 24 meters
If the load exceeds one meter from the front or back
Then they should be marked and reflectors should be placed on them
- If the load is visible from the front, the load must be marked with a white light and a white reflector
- If the load is visible from behind, the load must be marked with a red light and a red reflector
Regarding towing cars using a tow rope
The tow rope must be at least 2 meters long
If the tow rope is more than 2 meters long, the tow rope must be marked with a reflective sign in the middle of the tow rope.
Cars are greatly affected when cornering if they are loaded, as well as on rough and wet roads and during braking
Therefore, you must make sure that you have secured the load well so that it does not move from its place for any reason while driving.
When the vehicle is more than 260 cm wide
Especially work vehicles, army vehicles, and large vehicles, you will find a vehicle in front of them
Alert flashes orange
Also when you see the next sign on the road
It means that vehicles whose width is more than 220 cm are prohibited from passing
If you are carrying a load with you and the width of your vehicle is greater than what is written on the sign, you should not travel on this road.
