If driving at night or in low visibility conditions with a load extending both in front and behind the vehicle, how must you signal it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To ensure road safety in low visibility conditions (such as at night, sunset, or in tunnels), any protruding load must be visible and indicate the direction of travel. The general rule states: Rear: Must have a red light and a red reflective device. This warns those approaching from behind (same color code as rear position lights). Front: Must have a white light and a white reflective device. This warns those approaching from the front (same color code as headlights). The other options are incorrect because a red cloth is insufficient for night use (only useful during the day along with the V-20 panel if needed) and signaling only the rear would leave an invisible hazard at the front.
