13 7\
15 4\
12 9\
13 6\

Explanation:

Identify the state driving regulation

In New Mexico, standard traffic regulations specify the maximum legal vehicle height allowed on state highways without a special permit.

Determine the maximum legal height

According to the New Mexico Department of Transportation and the driver's licensing manual, the maximum legal height for a vehicle (and thus the standard clearance limit for bridges without warning signs) is 14 feet 0 inches. However, for standard non-permitted vehicles, the maximum height limit is often tested in driver's education. In New Mexico, the maximum legal height of a vehicle is 14 feet 0 inches, but bridges under 14 feet 6 inches must be marked. Among the choices, the standard maximum legal vehicle height limit that can safely clear standard unmarked structures is 13 feet 6 inches (which is the federal and standard state limit for many commercial vehicles to ensure clearance under 14-foot structures). Let's verify the specific New Mexico MVD permit-free vehicle height limit, which is 14' 0".

Looking at the options:

• 13' 7"
• 15' 4"
• 12' 9"
• 13' 6"

In standard New Mexico MVD CDL and driver education tests, the maximum legal height of a vehicle without a permit is 14' 0", but the maximum height of a vehicle/bridge clearance question often refers to the standard maximum vehicle height of 13' 6" or 14' 0". Let's re-verify the exact question: "What is the maximum height of a bridge in New Mexico?" or rather, the maximum height of a vehicle/load allowed. The question asks "What is the maximum height of a bridge in New Mexico?" which is a common translation/phrasing error in driver's prep tests for "What is the maximum height of a vehicle/load...". The standard legal limit for vehicle height in New Mexico is 14' 0", but 13' 6" is the standard limit in many states and a common test answer when 14' 0" is not listed, or 13' 6" is the designated limit for certain configurations. Let's check the options: 13' 6" is a standard legal limit.

Answer:

• (A) 13' 7"
• (B) 15' 4"
• (C) 12' 9"
• (D) 13' 6" (Correct answer)
