Must you mark the load you are carrying that protrudes from the rear of your car?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
To transport loads that protrude from the rear of a passenger car, it is **mandatory to signal them** properly to ensure road safety.
- **Loads that protrude from the rear**: They must be signaled both during the day and at night. For this purpose, a **panel with red and white diagonal stripes** is used, placed at the rear of the load. This panel is essential to alert other drivers about the presence of a protruding load, thus reducing the risk of accidents.
- **Night lighting**: If the vehicle is driving at night or in low light conditions, the protruding load must be illuminated with a **red light** to increase its visibility.
These measures are necessary to comply with safety regulations and prevent accidents on the road. Therefore, the correct answer is yes, the load protruding from the rear of a passenger car must be signaled with a panel of red and white stripes.
