Group 8 · Speed, towing, carrying people and cargo · Question 54 of 55
If cargo protrudes 0.6 m beyond the rear end of the vehicle, must it be marked during daylight hours with the “Oversized Cargo” identification sign and, at night or under conditions of insufficient visibility, additionally with a white light or reflector at the front and a red light or reflector at the rear?

Answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
Explanation
A load must carry the "Oversized Cargo" sign (and lamps or reflectors in the dark) if it sticks out more than 1 m beyond the front or rear. A rear overhang of 0.6 m is under that, so no marking is required (Rules, point 162).
