Correct answer

  • BNo es necesario señalizarla.It does not need to be marked.
Explanation

The V-20 panel is only required for a load that sticks out at the rear. If it sticks out at the front, it is marked with a white light, but only between sunset and sunrise or when visibility is considerably reduced (Article 15.6 of the General Traffic Regulations). By day and with good visibility it does not need to be marked, although its projecting end must be protected.
