At night, if we transport a load that extends laterally more than 0.40 meters from the outer edge of the position lights, how are we required to signal it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations establish specific safety measures to ensure the total width of the vehicle is visible to other road users in low visibility conditions. If the load extends laterally more than 0.40 meters from the outer edge of the vehicle's position light, it must be marked at each of the lateral ends of the load: facing forward with a white light and a white reflective device, and facing backward with a red light and a red reflective device. The V-20 panel (red and white stripes) is used to signal loads protruding longitudinally from the rear, but at night and laterally, lights are mandatory.
