C1Difficulty 3/5

During a loading or unloading operation lawfully conducted on the road, may goods be deposited on the carriageway, shoulder or a pedestrian area?

Correct answer

No, depositing them in those areas is prohibited.

No. Depositing goods in those areas is prohibited. Normally load or unload off the road; Article 16’s exception applies only when on-road work is unavoidable and creates no danger or serious disruption. Obey stopping, parking and municipal rules; use the side closest to the carriageway edge where possible and work promptly while avoiding unnecessary noise and disturbance. The prohibition is not dependent on exceeding 3,500 kg.
