What color reflectors are needed at the rear of a NEV?

The requirement for rear reflectors on a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) is guided by safety regulations ensuring visibility to other drivers, especially in low-light conditions. Red reflectors are specifically mandated for the rear of vehicles because red is universally recognized as a signal for caution or alertness, which enhances the visibility and recognition of the vehicle at night or in poor weather conditions. This standard helps prevent accidents by ensuring that NEVs, which may be smaller and less visible than regular vehicles, are easily identifiable to other road users.

The other colors referenced do not meet these safety criteria; they might be used for other purposes or vehicle types but do not comply with the established regulations for NEV rear reflectors. Therefore, using red reflectors at the rear is essential for compliance and safety.
