Correct answer
- ANo.No.
Under Article 16 of the General Traffic Regulations, loading and unloading must be done off the road. If it is unavoidable to do it on the road, it must not cause danger or disturbance to other users. Leaving goods on the pavement is forbidden, because it can obstruct pedestrians and put their safety at risk. So the correct answer is «No».
