Correct answer

  • A0,50 metros a cada lado del eje longitudinal del vehículo.0.50 metres on each side of the vehicle's centre line.
Explanation

The General Traffic Regulations (RGC) clearly state that on vehicles less than one metre wide, the load must not stick out sideways more than 0.50 metres on each side of the vehicle's centre line. This is important for safety on public roads, since a load that sticks out too far could be a danger to other road users, especially on narrow or urban roads. So the correct option is 0.50 metres on each side of the centre line.
