Is a van allowed to make a stop in a double row to unload goods?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To answer correctly, we must distinguish between 'stopping' (parada) and 'parking' (estacionamiento). Traffic regulations in Spain define a stop as a voluntary immobilization of less than 2 minutes where the driver does not leave the vehicle. Stopping in a double row is exceptionally allowed, but two conditions must be met simultaneously: 1) There is no available space nearby next to the curb, and 2) Traffic is not obstructed. Parking (more than 2 minutes or leaving the vehicle) is always forbidden in a double row. Therefore, the correct answer is yes, but strictly conditioned on the lack of a designated spot.
