What areas are considered the "NO ZONE" around a truck?

The "NO ZONE" around a truck refers to the areas where the truck driver has limited visibility, and where a vehicle could be in danger due to the truck's size and turning radius. This encompasses the regions directly in front of the truck, behind it, and on both the left and right sides.

The front zone is critical because a truck driver may not see a smaller vehicle directly in front, especially if that vehicle is positioned very close; this can lead to dangerous situations if the truck needs to stop suddenly. The rear zone is equally hazardous, as large trucks have long stopping distances. Being in this area could result in a crash if the truck has to brake sharply.

The lateral zones, on both sides of the truck, are also considered "NO ZONE" areas because they may be blind spots where the driver cannot see other vehicles, especially smaller cars that might be attempting to pass or navigate close to the truck.

Due to the inherent limitations in a truck's visibility and the potential for deadly accidents if vehicles are in these spots, it is crucial for motorists to be aware of and stay out of these areas when driving near large trucks.
