Correct answer
No, placing goods in those areas is prohibited.
No. Article 16 prohibits placing goods in those areas, without limiting the prohibition to vehicles above 3,500 kg. Loading and unloading generally take place off the road; unavoidable road operations must comply with the exceptional conditions and stopping and parking rules. Use the side nearest the carriageway edge where possible, with sufficient means for prompt handling and efforts to avoid unnecessary noise or nuisance. A loading/unloading time slot does not permit placing goods in those areas.
