Correct answer

  • BSí, con un panel de franjas rojas y blancas.Yes, with a panel with red and white stripes.
Explanation

Yes. On cars the load may only stick out at the rear, by up to 10% of the vehicle's length, or 15% if it is indivisible, and it must be marked with the V-20 panel with diagonal red and white stripes; at night, also with a red light (Article 15 of the General Traffic Regulations).
