Is it allowed to place goods on the sidewalk, roadway, or shoulder whilst unloading a vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is NO. According to General Traffic Regulations, during loading and unloading operations, it is strictly forbidden to deposit goods on the public highway (which includes the roadway, the shoulder, and the sidewalks). These operations must be carried out by moving the load directly from the vehicle to the property, destination, or vice versa. Leaving boxes or packages on the sidewalk, even momentarily or believing they do not disturb, forces pedestrians to make dangerous maneuvers or hinders their passage; therefore, the regulations require a direct transfer without intermediate deposits on the ground.
