A load sticks out from the rear of a vehicle; does it have to be signalled?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
To ensure **road safety**, it is important that loads protruding from the rear of a vehicle are **properly marked** both during the day and at night. This helps other drivers see and avoid the load, reducing the risk of accidents.
- **During the day**, a **plate with red and white diagonal stripes** must be placed at the rear of the load. If the load is as wide as the vehicle, two plates are placed, one at each end of the protruding load.
- **At night** or in low light conditions, in addition to the plates, the load must be **illuminated with a red light** so that it is visible to other drivers.
These measures are necessary to ensure that the load is visible at all times, thus avoiding possible accidents. Therefore, the correct answer is that the load must be marked both during the day and at night.
