Correct answer
0.25 metres.
In the case of smaller, narrower vehicles, such as motorcycles and mopeds, with a total width of less than one metre, the traffic rules in Spain differ regarding how far the load may protrude. The load is allowed to protrude from the rear of the vehicle, but only up to a maximum of 0.25 metres. This is to ensure that the load does not pose a safety risk to other road users. In addition, the load may protrude up to 0.50 metres on each side of the vehicle's longitudinal axis. However, it is important to remember that the load must never protrude from the front of the vehicle under any circumstances. These measures help maintain a balance between the usefulness of carrying a load and road safety.
