What is the purpose of the "No Zone" around large vehicles?

The "No Zone" refers to the areas around large vehicles, such as trucks and buses, where visibility is limited for the driver of that vehicle. The purpose of identifying these zones is to alert other drivers about the amplified blind spots where cars may disappear from the driver's view. Large vehicles typically have larger blind spots compared to standard passenger vehicles, and if another vehicle is driving in these zones, the large vehicle driver may not see them, which can lead to hazardous situations.

Understanding this aspect is crucial for ensuring safe interaction on the road. For instance, if drivers are aware of these blind spots, they are more likely to avoid lingering or driving alongside large trucks or buses within these areas, thereby minimizing the risk of collisions. Having an awareness of the "No Zone" promotes safer driving practices and helps protect everyone on the roadway.
