If cargo protrudes 0.5 m beyond the side of the vehicle, measured from the outer edge of the marker light, must it be marked during daylight hours with the “Oversized Cargo” identification sign and, at night or under conditions of insufficient visibility, additionally with a white light or reflector at the front and a red light or reflector at the rear?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Explanation

A load must carry the "Oversized Cargo" sign by day (and white lights or reflectors in front and red ones behind in the dark) if it sticks out more than 1 m at the front or rear, or more than 0.4 m to the side beyond the outer edge of the side light. 0.5 m to the side is more than 0.4 m, so yes (Rules, point 162).
