The other must be on the rear of the load or, if that does not result in an easily read sign, then the sign must be on the rear of the vehicle.

These signs must be on the sides of the overhanging part of the load or, if this is not possible, then the signs must be on the sides of the vehicle. If the rear end overhang clears the pavement by six (6) feet or more, no sign is required on the overhang.
Vehicles and loads exceeding the legal front end overhang must display one (1) sign with the wording “OVERSIZE LOAD”. This sign must be displayed on the front of the vehicle. If the overhang clears the pavement by 6 feet of more, no sign is required.
