Correct answer
No, not for those projections, as it meets the rule and the other stated requirements.
No. These projections are within Article 15.2’s rule for indivisible-length loads on goods vehicles longer than 5 m: up to 2 m in front and 3 m behind. The stated arrangement gives an overall length of 12 m; this is not a requirement that every loaded lorry be 12 m long. Adding lengths does not authorise arbitrary placement: all other requirements, including securing and marking the rear projection, must be met. If other ordinary limits were exceeded, the applicable special regime would need assessment.
