Default ...crossed

Tire chains should be crossed. In case the hitch lifts off the trailer ball while being towed, the trailer hitch and tongue will be caught by the crossed chains and not dig into the road. If the chains are too long, their cradle effect will not work too good, or at all.

Next question: For trailers built before directional signals were required, what's the universal hand signal for signaling a right hand turn?
