I will be having to carry a 32 foot extension ladder for work. I measured that my cav is 15 feet long roughly from bumper to bumper. Folded this ladder is 18 feet. This will mean that the ladder will protrude 3 feet passed the vehicle's length.

I was told to tie it down well side to side and front to back, and to tie a few red flags on the ladder for safety. I am ok with doing that.

What I don't want to happen is to have a cop pull me over saying that it's a hazard because of the 3 foot over hang. Does anyone know what the laws are relating to this?

Can anyone help me out?

Hey I used to do Hise Rise window cleaning and we used to carry a 32 footer on a chevette and drive around Toronto Anyways if I remember right the law anything past 4 feet requires a red tag or flag of some sort. But I would use a red flag for 3 feet too. Hope this helps. Most cops don't want to deal with the guy willing to strap an 18 foot ladder to their car

AS LONG AS YOU HAVE APROPER RACK IS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL, AND HAN FOOT OF THE BACK AN THE OTHER 2 FEET FORWARD, YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROB I WORK FOR ROGES AND MY BOY WORKS FOR INTECK UP IN DURHAM THE LATTER IS HUGE
