Correct answer
- BCon el panel reglamentario para cargas que sobresalen.With the regulation panel for projecting loads.
If the load sticks out from the back of a car, by day, in clear weather and with normal visibility, it must be marked with a 50 × 50 centimetre panel painted with alternating red and white diagonal stripes. The panel is placed at the rear end of the load so that it is always at right angles to the length of the vehicle. If the load sticks out from the back between sunset and sunrise, or in weather or other conditions that greatly reduce visibility, it must be marked with the panel or panels described above, which have a reflective surface, and with a red light.
