Show the answer
When the load projects forwards by more than 2 metres (6 feet 6 inches)This was the right answer
For a forward projection over 2 metres, prescribed end and side markers are required. The ordinary rearward threshold differs: end marking is required over 2 metres, while side markers are required over 3 metres. Keep markers clean and visible and illuminate them with shielded lamps between sunset and sunrise. Attendance, notification and further markers may also be required for the complete load.
