Correct answer
- BNo, como norma general.No, as a general rule.
Loading and unloading must be done off the road. Exceptionally, when it cannot be avoided on the road, it must be done without causing danger or serious disruption to other road users, following these rules: the rules on stopping and parking must be respected and, in built-up areas, so must the local authority rules on suitable times and places. As far as possible, it must be done on the side of the vehicle nearest the edge of the carriageway. It must be done with enough means to be as quick as possible, avoiding unnecessary noise and nuisance. It is forbidden to put the goods down on the carriageway, hard shoulder or in pedestrian areas.
