C1Difficulty 3/5

When loading or unloading goods on a public road is unavoidable, may the goods be deposited on the carriageway, shoulder or pedestrian areas?

Correct answer

No, depositing them in those spaces is prohibited.

No. Article 16 prohibits depositing them in those spaces. Normally loading takes place off the road; the unavoidable exception must avoid danger and serious disruption, comply with stopping, parking and municipal rules, use the side nearest the road edge where possible and avoid unnecessary nuisance with sufficient means for prompt handling.
