Is it permitted to deposit cargo on the roadway or on the shoulders of a road?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is strictly negative. According to General Traffic Regulations, it is prohibited to throw, deposit, or abandon objects or materials on the road that could hinder free circulation, stopping, or parking, make them dangerous, or damage the road. This applies to the entire road platform, which includes both the roadway (the area intended for driving) and the shoulders. If cargo falls accidentally, the driver is obliged to remove it as soon as possible and signal the obstacle while it remains there, but the road can never be used as a voluntary storage area.
