A load that is very wide requires an attendant when the width is at least:

• A. 3.3 metres
• B. 2.6 metres
• C. 3.0 metres
• D. 3.5 metres

Answer: (D)

When a load is very wide, there must be an attendant to guide the vehicle and coordinate with other road users to keep everyone safe. The point at which this becomes mandatory is 3.5 metres. This width is wide enough that standard lanes and turning spaces become risky, so an escort helps with signaling, avoiding obstacles, and alerting other drivers. Loads narrower than this don’t automatically require an attendant, though they may still need careful route planning or permits. So 3.5 metres is the threshold where an attendant is required.
