There's probably a Federal guideline but most states have their own regulations. New Jersey now requires a red flag if the thing extends more than 4 feet., for example. Maryland, the last time I checked, was more like 2 feet. FWIW, Maryland also limits rack width to lane width, whereas NJ says rack extensions can be no more than half again the vehicle width.
