Correct answer
No, never.
Goods must not be deposited on the carriageway, shoulder or pedestrian areas during these operations. Loading and unloading must take place off the road; when doing so on the road is exceptionally unavoidable, observe stopping and parking rules and applicable local provisions without danger or serious disruption. Work, where possible, on the side nearest the carriageway edge, using sufficient means and avoiding unnecessary noise and inconvenience. Speed of unloading does not permit depositing goods in those spaces.
