How must loading and unloading operations be carried out if it is necessary to perform them on the public road?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general rule states that loading and unloading should preferably be done off the road. However, if it is essential to do so on the public road, stopping and parking rules must be respected. The main condition is not to cause danger or serious disturbances to the traffic of other users. Furthermore, these operations must be carried out as quickly as possible (avoiding unnecessary noise) and always from the side of the vehicle closest to the curb. The answer suggesting ignoring noise is incorrect, as avoidable acoustic disturbances are prohibited.
