Do you need to tie a red flag to the end of your kayak or canoe if it extends past the back end of the car? *************************************************************************** Revised NJ laws (1995) and I think perhaps nationally now, are that max length of rack bars is 1 1/2 times the width of the vehicle, but not greater than a lane width (whatever that might be...). Also, an overhanging load can reach 36 inches behind back bumper before a red flag (I think at least 18 inches square) is required.
