Which vehicles must be equipped with amber reflectors on their sides?

The combination of vehicles that must be equipped with amber reflectors on their sides includes both tractors longer than 6 meters and trailers, along with any attached working equipment. This requirement is stipulated to enhance visibility and safety on the road, particularly for larger vehicles that might not be as easily seen by other drivers. According to German traffic regulations, the visibility of these vehicles is crucial to prevent accidents, especially in low-light conditions or for other drivers approaching from behind or the side. Having amber reflectors helps to alert other road users to the presence and dimensions of these larger vehicles, thus promoting overall road safety.
