Correct answer
With a red light at the rear of the load and a white light at the front.
When transporting an indivisible load projecting from the front and rear of the vehicle at night or in conditions that reduce visibility, it must be marked appropriately to ensure safety and visibility. The correct method is to use a white light at the front of the load and a red light at the rear. This means that the white light at the front indicates its projection forwards, making it visible to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. The red light at the rear warns vehicles approaching from behind of the presence of an object projecting beyond the vehicle's limits. This marking is essential for road safety, as it helps other drivers identify and react appropriately to a projecting load, especially in low-visibility conditions such as at night or in adverse weather.
