Correct answer
Yes, with a panel of red and white stripes.
Under traffic regulations, when a vehicle's load projects from the rear, it must be marked with one or two panels of red and white stripes (V-20), especially during the day and in good weather. The positioning of these panels depends on the load's length and width. If the load projects across the entire width of the rear of the vehicle, two panels must be placed at the ends of the load, forming an inverted V shape. Marking a load that projects from the rear is always compulsory, even when it is divisible.
