BDifficulty 2/5

When leaving a vehicle with a maximum authorised mass above 3,500 kg parked on a significant slope, may stones be used as chocks or to supplement its chocking?

Correct answer

No, it is prohibited.

No. Article 92.3.d prohibits using stones or other items not expressly designed for chocking. For vehicles above 3,500 kg, buses or combinations on a significant slope, it requires securing the vehicle with suitable chocks or by resting a steered wheel against the kerb, oriented as required. It does not always require chocks if that alternative is met. Remove chocks from the road when moving off and comply with other applicable parking measures.
