Correct answer
outside the road.

Exceptionally, when loading on the road is unavoidable, observe stopping and parking rules and local ordinances, without danger or serious traffic disruption. Use the side nearest the carriageway edge where possible and sufficient means to work promptly, avoiding unnecessary noise or disturbance. Do not place goods on the carriageway, shoulder or pedestrian areas.
