Is It Illegal to Load Items in the Trunk?
1 Answers
Loading items in the trunk of a private car does not violate traffic laws. Passenger vehicles are not allowed to carry cargo except on external roof racks and built-in luggage compartments. For sedan roof rack loading: The height must not exceed 0.5 meters from the roof or 4 meters from the ground. For heavy-duty, medium-duty trucks, and semi-trailers: The height must not exceed 4 meters from the ground, and for container-carrying vehicles, it must not exceed 4.2 meters. For other cargo-carrying motor vehicles: The height must not exceed 2.5 meters from the ground. For motorcycle loading: The height must not exceed 1.5 meters from the ground, and the length must not extend beyond the vehicle body by 0.2 meters. For two-wheeled motorcycles, the width must not exceed 0.15 meters on either side of the handlebars. For three-wheeled motorcycles, the width must not exceed the vehicle body.
