A load sticks out from the rear of a car. Does it have to be marked?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
When a load protrudes from the rear of a vehicle, it is **mandatory to signal it both during the day and at night**. This is done by placing a **plate with red and white diagonal stripes** at the rear of the load. If the load is as wide as the vehicle, two plates must be placed, one at each end of the protruding load.
Additionally, when the vehicle is driving at night or in low light conditions, the load must be **illuminated with a red light** to increase its visibility and safety.
These measures are necessary to ensure that other drivers can see the protruding load and avoid accidents. Therefore, the correct answer is that the load must be signaled both during the day and at night.
