Why this is correct

The red areas around large commercial vehicles represent blind spots, also called 'no zones,' where the truck driver cannot see other vehicles. These areas exist on all four sides of the truck and are extremely dangerous because the commercial vehicle driver has no visibility of cars positioned in these zones.

From the official Minnesota Driver's Manual (page Page 55)

Commercial vehicle 'no zones' are the blind spots around large commercial vehicles where the driver has limited or no visibility of other vehicles. Avoid driving in these areas when near large trucks.
