When signaling a load extending from the rear, how must the V-20 sign be placed regarding the vehicle's longitudinal axis?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The V-20 sign is a square panel with diagonal red and white stripes indicating that the load protrudes from the rear. To ensure maximum visibility for drivers approaching from behind, the reflective face of the sign must face backwards, which geometrically means it must be placed perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. If placed parallel, the sign would be facing sideways (edge-on) and would not be visible. Its placement depends on the rear end of the load, not the height of the wheels.
