Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On interurban roads, stopping and parking must always take place outside the roadway and leaving the passable part of the shoulder free (Article 90(1) of the General Traffic Regulations). In addition, loading and unloading operations must be carried out outside the road and only exceptionally, if unavoidable, on it; in any case it is prohibited to deposit goods on the roadway, the shoulder and pedestrian areas (Article 16). Consequently, it is not permitted to occupy the shoulder to unload a truck, it being irrelevant that other users are not bothered or that the driver stays in the vehicle.
