Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

If the load protrudes laterally more than 0.40 meters from the outer edge of the vehicle's position light, it must be marked. The regulations specify that the use of lights (white facing forward and red facing backward) and reflective devices is mandatory when visibility is reduced. This includes the period between sunset and sunrise, as well as situations where weather or environmental conditions (fog, heavy rain, smoke) significantly reduce visibility. During the day with good visibility, the signaling is different and does not require lights.
