At night, what is the minimum distance a red lantern or lamp must be visible when attached to the end of an extended load?

300 feet
400 feet
500 feet
600 feet

The correct answer is: 500 feet

The correct answer reflects the requirement that a red lantern or lamp at the end of an extended load must be visible from a minimum distance of 500 feet at night. This regulation is crucial for ensuring safety on the roads, especially for larger vehicles or loads that extend beyond the standard vehicle dimensions. The visibility of the lantern serves as a warning to other drivers, allowing them to gauge the length of the load and maintain a safe distance. This distance is established to reduce the risk of accidents that could occur if other vehicle operators are unaware of the extended load. The significance of this requirement is underscored by the fact that larger loads can create blind spots and present hazards to following traffic.
