Correct answer
- ASí, y cuando sea necesario también la señalizaremos con una luz roja.Yes, and when necessary we will also mark it with a red light.
If the load sticks out at the back of a car, during the day, in clear weather and with normal visibility, it must be marked with a 50 by 50 centimetre panel painted with alternating red and white diagonal stripes, placed at the rear end of the load so that it always stays at right angles to the vehicle's axis. If the load sticks out at the back between sunset and sunrise, or in weather or conditions that noticeably reduce visibility, it must be marked with the panel or panels described above, which are reflective, and with a red light.
