Carrying cargo that extends more than 4 feet from the back bumper of the vehicle poses a danger to other drivers on the road, as it limits the driver's view and can make it harder to stop. For this reason, it must be marked with either a 12-inch red or fluorescent orange square flag or two red lights at night.
