Question 4803

At night, it is required to mark a load that protrudes laterally more than 0.40 meters...

  1. with a reflective panel at the rear only.
  2. with a white light and a white reflective device at the front and a red light and a red reflective device at the rear.
  3. with a red light and a red reflective device at the rear only.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: with a white light and a white reflective device at the front and a red light and a red reflective device at the rear.

When the side end of the load is more than 0.40 meters from the edge of the position light, at night or in poor visibility each side end must have a white light and a white reflector facing forward, and a red light and a red reflector facing backward. Marking only the rear does not warn oncoming traffic. In the image, the truck has white lights facing forward at the ends of the load.
