According to the General Traffic Regulations (Article 15(7)), when a load protrudes sideways so that its end is more than 0.40 meters from the outer edge of the front or rear position light, it is mandatory to mark it between sunset and sunrise and whenever weather or environmental conditions significantly reduce visibility. The marking goes at each lateral end: at the front, a white light and a white reflective device; at the rear, a red light and a red reflective device. Limiting the marking to a load that protrudes at the rear is a mistake, because the rule also requires marking a load that protrudes sideways. And a reflective panel at each end is not enough: a light is required, white at the front and red at the rear, in addition to the reflective device.
