If the load you are carrying in your vehicle falls onto the carriageway, must you mark its position until you remove it from the road?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
If the load of your vehicle falls onto the roadway, it is important to **signal the situation** to warn other drivers and prevent accidents. To do this, you must use the **hazard pre-signaling device**, which is a yellow or orange light placed at the highest point of the vehicle. This signal is visible from afar and alerts others that there is an obstacle on the road.
Additionally, it is essential **not to leave loads on the road, the shoulder, or pedestrian areas**, as this is prohibited and can cause damage or accidents. If the load falls, you must remove it as soon as possible and, in the meantime, ensure it is well signaled to protect other road users.
