CDifficulty 3/5

A rigid lorry 12 metres long must carry indivisible poles 13 metres long. If the vehicle with that load exceeds the regulatory length limit, what is needed to perform the transport?

Correct answer

The applicable special circulation authorisation, already granted.

The applicable special circulation authorisation, obtained before performing the transport and subject to its conditions. Applying for it is not the same as receiving it. Positioning the load to project behind the lorry neither removes the excessive length nor by itself authorises travel. Also comply with the applicable load securing, marking and route requirements.
