How must a load protruding from the rear of a vehicle be mandatorily marked?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that any load protruding from the rear of a vehicle must be marked with the V-20 signal. Key points: The V-20 Signal: It is a 50x50 cm square panel with alternating red and white diagonal stripes. It must be placed at the rear end of the load, perpendicular to the vehicle's axis. Why not a red flag?: The use of red cloths or flags is not regulatory for motor vehicles; an approved reflective panel is required. Low visibility conditions: If driving at night or under conditions that reduce visibility, a red light must be placed at the rear in addition to the V-20 panel. Full width: If the load protrudes longitudinally across the entire width of the rear, two V-20 signals must be placed transversely, forming an inverted 'V' geometry.
