Correct answer

  • AEn las motocicletas la carga no se debe señalizar.On motorcycles the load does not have to be marked.
Explanation

Article 15.6 of the General Traffic Regulations requires the V-20 sign for loads sticking out at the rear of the vehicles in its sections 2 and 3. For vehicles less than one metre wide, such as a motorcycle, the rules only limit the load to 0.25 metres at the rear and do not require this sign.
