If you are traveling behind a truck that has a visible reflective orange rectangular plate on its rear, what does this plate indicate?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The retroreflective orange rectangular plate placed on a vehicle officially indicates that it is transporting dangerous goods (ADR regulations). These plates alert other road users and help the emergency services quickly identify the hazard in the event of an accident, since they usually carry numerical codes that specify the type of danger and the substance transported. By contrast, international transport is usually identified by the “TIR” plate, and the country of origin appears in the country marking on the license plate itself.
