Correct answer
No, that distance does not exceed the 40 cm threshold for additional lateral marking.
Not because of that 30 cm distance. Article 15 requires additional lateral marking when the load edge is more than 40 cm from the outer edge of the position light: a white light and reflector facing forward and a red light and reflector facing rearward. Longitudinal projection is excluded and lawful lateral projection is assumed here. This does not authorise exceeding width limits or omitting the combination’s required lights.
