Correct answer

  • BNo, porque se considera estacionamiento y está prohibido.No, because it counts as parking, which is prohibited.
Explanation

A broken yellow line next to the edge of the carriageway (marking M-7.7) prohibits parking, but not stopping. Stopping means bringing the vehicle to a standstill for less than two minutes without the driver leaving it; if the driver gets out and leaves it to pick up the load, it is already parking, and that is prohibited.
