Correct answer

  • ASí. Si es necesario, además se señalizará con una luz roja.Yes. If necessary, it must also be signalled with a red light.
Explanation

A load sticking out at the back of a car must be signalled with the V-20 sign at its rear end and, at night or in poor visibility, also with a red light (Article 15.6 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)). There is no exception for loads that stick out only a little.
