N.C.G.S. 20-116(c): no vehicle, unladen or with load, shall exceed 13 ft 6 in (162 in). ⚠️ Neither the State nor any agency or subdivision is required to raise or alter any underpass, wire, pole, trestle or other structure for a vehicle over 12 FT 6 IN, and the operator or owner of any vehicle over 12 ft 6 in is LIABLE for damage to any structure caused by that excess height. Legal to 13 ft 6 in, at your own risk above 12 ft 6 in.

No overall length limitation for a tractor-semitrailer (NCGS 20-115.1(d)). ⚠️ Our previous 60 ft came from NCGS 20-116(e), which EXPRESSLY excepts tractor + semitrailer of 53 ft or less — such a combination "may exceed the 60-foot maximum length." Do not report 60 ft for NC. ⚠️ The 53 ft is NOT unconditional: lawful only where kingpin-to-rearmost-axle is 41 ft or less (46 ft for motorsports haulers), AND any semitrailer over 48 ft carries a conforming rear underride guard. A 53 ft trailer with a 45 ft KPRA is legal in many states and ILLEGAL in North Carolina.

A 53 ft trailer is lawful only if kingpin-to-rearmost-axle is 41 ft or less. 46 ft for trailers used exclusively or primarily to haul motorsports-competition vehicles. A 53 ft trailer with a 45 ft KPRA is legal in many states and ILLEGAL here.
