CDifficulty 3/5

Without an emergency, may you voluntarily place your lorry on the usable part of an interurban road’s shoulder to unload goods?

Correct answer

No.

No. Stopping and parking on an interurban road must be off the carriageway on its right and leave the usable shoulder clear. Loading and unloading normally take place off the road; unavoidable exceptional on-road operations do not remove those rules or safety requirements. Goods must not be deposited on the carriageway, shoulder or pedestrian areas. Remaining inside or perceiving no disturbance does not authorise occupying that shoulder.
