If the load protrudes from the front and rear of the vehicle, how must it be signaled at night or in low visibility conditions?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To ensure road safety when cargo protrudes from the vehicle's footprint, regulations distinguish between day and night. During the day, the V-20 panel (red and white diagonal stripes) at the rear is sufficient. However, at night (between sunset and sunrise) or under conditions that reduce visibility, precautions must be increased by adding lighting: At the front: It must carry a white light and a white reflector. At the rear: It must carry a red light and a red reflector, in addition to the mandatory V-20 panel. Therefore, the correct answer is the combination of the corresponding lights (white/red) along with the rear reflective panel.
