C1Difficulty 3/5

When loading or unloading goods on the road is unavoidable and applicable stopping, parking and municipal rules are observed, on which side of the vehicle should it be done where possible?

Correct answer

On the side nearest the carriageway edge where possible.

On the side closest to the edge of the carriageway. The general rule is to load and unload off the road; the exception must not create danger or serious traffic disruption. Use adequate means to finish promptly and avoid unnecessary noise or disturbance. Do not deposit goods on the carriageway, shoulder or pedestrian areas. Double-parking is not a permitted alternative.
