The panel marking a load that sticks out at the back is compulsory and cannot be replaced by any other device. A load that sticks out at the back of a vehicle, except on vehicles less than 1 metre wide, must be marked with a 50 x 50 cm panel with alternating red and white diagonal stripes, placed at the rear end of the load and perpendicular to the vehicle's axis. When the load sticks out along the whole width of the rear of the vehicle, we will place 2 panels, and their stripes will form an inverted “V”.
