Is it permitted to place goods on the roadway, shoulder, or pedestrian zones during loading and unloading operations?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that it is prohibited to leave goods on the roadway or shoulder. According to General Traffic Regulations, loading and unloading operations must be carried out off the road whenever possible. When they must be performed on the road, it is strictly prohibited to place goods on the roadway, shoulder, or sidewalks, as this creates a dangerous obstacle for both vehicle traffic and pedestrians. The rule states that goods must be moved directly from the vehicle to the premises (or vice versa) without being deposited on the public road surface. The other options are incorrect because neither being outside a built-up area nor using only the roadway exempts you from this prohibition.
