Is it permitted to leave goods on the road while loading or unloading operations are being carried out?

Correct answer

No, it is prohibited to leave goods on the carriageway, hard shoulder or pavements.

No. Article 16.c prohibits depositing goods on the carriageway, shoulder and pedestrian areas during loading or unloading. Carry out these operations off the road; where doing so on the road is exceptionally unavoidable, create no danger or serious traffic disruption. Obey stopping, parking and municipal rules, work on the side nearest the carriageway edge where possible, and use sufficient means to complete the operation promptly.
