Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
To ensure **road safety**, it is essential that the loads transported in a vehicle do not obscure the **lighting devices**. These devices are crucial for the visibility of the vehicle, especially in low light conditions or at night.
- Loads must be placed in such a way that they do not cover the vehicle's **lights** or **warning signals**. This ensures that other drivers can clearly see the vehicle and its intentions on the road.
- Additionally, it is important that the loads do not interfere with the **hand signals** that the driver may make to other vehicles. This is crucial for communication and accident prevention.
