Correct answer
0.50 metres on each side of the vehicle's longitudinal axis.
The limit is 0.50 m on each side of the longitudinal axis, not from each outer side of the vehicle. If the vehicle is 0.80 m wide and centred on the axis, each edge is 0.40 m away: the load may reach at most 0.50 m from the axis, giving 1.00 m total width, not 1.80 m. It also cannot project forward or more than 0.25 m rearward. Observe load securing and other safety conditions.
