What is the maximum permitted height of a vehicle?

The maximum permitted height of a vehicle is 13 feet, 6 inches. This standard height limit is established to ensure that vehicles can safely navigate under bridges, overpasses, and other structures without the risk of collisions. Many roadways, especially those in urban areas or near commercial zones, are designed with this height limitation in mind to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all road users.

This height requirement is part of the Uniform Vehicle Code adhered to by many states, including Indiana. Vehicles exceeding this height typically require special permits and routing to avoid areas where they might be unable to pass safely. Ensuring that vehicles comply with this height restriction helps maintain the integrity of transport infrastructures and promotes safe travel for all.
