At what weight is a placard required for a combustible liquid?

  1. 500 pounds or more

  2. 1000 pounds or more

  3. 1001 pounds or more

  4. 1500 pounds or more

The correct answer is: 1001 pounds or more

A placard is required for a combustible liquid when the quantity reaches 1,001 pounds or more. This regulation ensures that emergency responders are adequately informed about the potential hazards on board, allowing them to take the necessary precautions in case of an incident. The guidelines aim to enhance the safety of the drivers, the general public, and the environment during transportation. While lower quantities of combustible liquids may still pose risks, the requirement for placarding specifically aims to address larger volumes that significantly increase the potential danger. Therefore, the regulation sets the threshold at 1,001 pounds to prioritize safety and effective hazard communication.
