Question 6280
At night, is a load that protrudes laterally more than 0.40 meters beyond the outer edge of the vehicle's position lights required to be marked?
- Yes, at each lateral end.
- No.
- Only if the load also protrudes from the front or rear of the vehicle.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, at each lateral end.
Yes. If the side of the load extends more than 0.40 meters beyond the outer edge of the position light, each lateral end must be marked at night. It must have a white light and a white reflector facing forward, and a red light and a red reflector facing backward. This does not depend on whether the load also protrudes at the front or rear.
