In what manner must loading and unloading operations be carried out on a goods transport vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations (Article 16) establish that loading and unloading operations must be carried out off the road. Only exceptionally, when it is unavoidable to carry them out on it, will they be done without causing danger or serious disturbance to traffic, with sufficient means to achieve the greatest possible speed and trying to avoid unnecessary noise and nuisance. Doing them on the side closest to the center of the roadway is a mistake: they are carried out, as far as possible, on the side of the vehicle closest to the edge of the roadway. Preferably occupying the roadway and traffic areas is not correct either: the norm is to do it off the road, and it is prohibited to deposit the goods on the roadway, the shoulder and pedestrian areas.
