Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No; it is a sign that is displayed on them voluntarily.
No. The blind spot sign is optional for all vehicles allowed to display it: buses, trucks, vans, and garbage trucks like the one in the image. It warns cyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists about areas the driver cannot see. No vehicle is required to display it to travel on the road.
