What is expressly prohibited regarding objects or materials on the road or in its vicinity?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations (Article 4) establish a clear prohibition to ensure road safety: it is forbidden to throw, deposit, or abandon objects or materials on the road that could hinder free movement, stopping, or parking, make them dangerous, or damage the road and its facilities. This includes trash, cigarette butts (fire hazard), or poorly secured loads. The other options are incorrect because signaling an obstacle is mandatory if it cannot be removed, and picking up a dangerous object (if done safely) is an acceptable civic behavior.
