Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The panel shown is the V-20 Signal. Its main function is to warn other road users that the vehicle is carrying a load that protrudes from the rear.  According to traffic regulations, it is mandatory to display this 50x50 cm panel with alternating red and white stripes whenever the load exceeds the vehicle's dimensions at the back (up to 10% of the vehicle's length if divisible, or 15% if indivisible). If the load protrudes across the entire width, two panels must be placed forming an inverted 'V'. Analysis of other options: Dangerous goods: These are identified by orange panels (V-11). Speed limit: This is indicated by a white disc with a red border and the speed figure in black (V-4) on the rear.
