Load width requires side markers at what width?

Load width requires side markers at what width?

• A. 3.5 metres [11 feet 5 inches]
• B. 2.0 metres [6 feet 6 inches]
• C. 2.9 metres [9 feet 5 inches]
• D. 4.3 metres [14 feet 2 inches]

Answer: (C)

Side markers are used to warn other road users about how wide the load extends beyond the vehicle. The requirement kicks in when the overall width reaches 2.9 metres (about 9 feet 5 inches). At that width, you must fit side markers to both sides of the load so others can judge clearance. If the load is narrower than 2.9 m, the markers aren’t required by this rule. Larger widths also require markers, but 2.9 m is the threshold the test uses.
