What do a vehicle’s front and rear position lights indicate?

Correct answer

The vehicle's position on the road and its width.

Its presence and width when viewed from the front or rear, according to the light. They do not by themselves show whether it is moving or stationary and do not illuminate the road like dipped beams. Side marker lights indicate presence when viewed from the side and have category-specific conditions. Do not confuse a side-light requirement based on length with front and rear lights’ width-indicating function.
