Load on bakkie and flags

Question

Please let me know how far out of the bakkie a plank is allowed to 'stick out', and what the legal requirements are of tying it up and red flags etc

Answer

REGULATION 227 (1) (a) (iii) states that the legal limit for rear projection must be more than 1.8 metres.

Regulation 229 (2) (b) speaks about red flags.

If the load projects more than 300mm then red flags have to be used. The flags must not be less than 300 millimetres by 300 millimetres.
