Question 4451
If a load protrudes laterally on a vehicle intended for the transport of goods, must it be marked at night or in conditions of poor visibility?
- No.
- Yes, when it protrudes more than 0.40 m beyond the outer edges of the position light.
- Yes, in all cases.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, when it protrudes more than 0.40 m beyond the outer edges of the position light.
Yes, when the side end of the load is more than 0.40 meters from the outer edge of the front or rear position light. At night or when visibility is substantially reduced, each side end must have a white light and white reflector facing forward, and a red light and red reflector facing backward. The distance is measured from the light, not from the side of the vehicle: it determines when marking is required, not how far the load may legally protrude.
