During loading and unloading operations, is it permitted to leave goods on the carriageway?

Correct answer

No; they must not be deposited on the shoulder or pedestrian areas either.

No. Article 16 of Spain’s General Traffic Regulation prohibits depositing goods on the carriageway, shoulder and pedestrian areas during these operations. This rule is not restricted to vehicles over 3,500 kg and does not require a particular obstruction to occur. Loading and unloading must take place off the road; if exceptionally unavoidable on it, comply with the safety, stopping, parking and local-regulation conditions without leaving goods in those spaces.
