What does the red and white striped panel (V-20 sign) placed at the rear of this vehicle indicate?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that the load protrudes from the rear. This panel is technically known as the V-20 sign. It is a square panel with alternating red and white diagonal stripes. Regulations and Usage: It is mandatory to use it whenever the load extends beyond the rear structure of the vehicle (up to 10% of the length if the load is divisible, or 15% if it is indivisible). It must be placed at the rear end of the load so that it remains perpendicular to the vehicle's axis. If the load protrudes longitudinally across the entire width of the rear, two V-20 panels must be placed transversely, forming an inverted 'V' shape. Why other answers are wrong: Dangerous goods: These are indicated by rectangular orange panels (V-11 sign), not diagonal stripes. Speed limit: This is indicated by the speed limitation sign (V-4), which is a white disk with the speed figure in black, or standard traffic signs.
