Question 340 in the bank

How do you mark an agricultural machine that has a width of more than 340 cm?

  1. A “caution! Overload” sign is hanged on the machine’s rear, and reflective triangles are placed during light time.
  2. The machine is marked with flickering yellow side lamps that are seen to a distance of 150 meters, both day and night.
  3. The machine is marked with a white triangle in front and a white triangle with red edges at the machine’s rear.
  4. Correct answer: A “caution! Wide vehicle” sign is hung on the front, and width warning lights are illuminated during lighting up time.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: A “caution! Wide vehicle” sign is hung on the front, and width warning lights are illuminated during lighting up time.

An agricultural machine wider than 340 cm must carry a "caution! Wide vehicle" sign on its front, so oncoming drivers know in advance that it takes up much of the road. During lighting-up time, width warning lights are also used to show its outer edges in the dark. An overload sign refers to cargo, not the machine's own width, and white triangles are not the required marking here.
