What are the height and length limits for vehicles?
1 Answers
Heavy and medium-duty trucks, as well as semi-trailers, must not exceed a height of 4 meters from the ground when carrying cargo. Vehicles transporting containers must not exceed a height of 4.2 meters. Other motor vehicles carrying goods must not exceed a height of 2.5 meters from the ground. Relevant regulations: Article 50 of the Highway Law: Vehicles exceeding the prescribed limits for load, height, width, or length on highways, highway bridges, highway tunnels, or vehicle ferries are not allowed to travel on highways, highway bridges, or within highway tunnels that have such limits, nor are they allowed to use vehicle ferries. If it is necessary for a vehicle exceeding the load limit of a highway or highway bridge to travel, approval must be obtained from the transportation authority of the local people's government at or above the county level, and effective protective measures must be taken as required. Penalties for oversized or overheight trucks: Penalty standard for over-length trucks: A fine and 1 demerit point. Vehicles that are severely over-width, over-height, or over-length and obstruct the driver's view pose significant dangers on the road. If you encounter such over-length or over-width vehicles, keep a safe distance, especially avoid following them closely. If you need to overtake, do so quickly.
