Question 3822
On an urban road, loading and unloading operations must be carried out...
- depositing the goods on the roadway or in pedestrian areas.
- from the side of the vehicle farthest from the edge of the roadway.
- complying with the provisions issued by the municipal authorities.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: complying with the provisions issued by the municipal authorities.
As a general rule, loading and unloading must take place off the road. If you have no choice but to do it on the street, you must follow stopping and parking rules and the local council’s rules on times and places. In the image, the van is using a marked loading zone, with its hours shown on the sign. You must never leave goods on the roadway or sidewalk, and, if possible, you must work from the side closest to the edge of the roadway, not the farthest side.
