Correct answer

  • CSí, con un panel colocado en el extremo de la carga.Yes, with a panel placed at the end of the load.
Explanation

According to Article 15.6 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), a load sticking out at the back must always be signalled with the V-20 panel, placed at the rear end of the load and at right angles to the vehicle's centre line. At night or in poor visibility, a red light must also be added.
