Is it permitted to place the load on the hard shoulders of the road?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
It is not permitted to deposit the load on the **shoulders** or on the **roadway**. Loading and unloading operations must be carried out off the road whenever possible. If for some reason it is necessary to do so on the road, precautions must be taken to avoid causing damage or inconvenience, and it is prohibited to leave loads on the road, the shoulder, or in pedestrian areas.
The **shoulder** is a part of the road primarily intended for certain vehicles such as bicycles, mopeds, and special vehicles. These vehicles must travel in a line and should not be obstructed by loads deposited on the shoulder. Additionally, the shoulder is not designed for the storage of objects, but to facilitate the safe transit of these vehicles.
Therefore, to ensure safety and the proper flow of traffic, it is essential that loads are not left on the shoulder or on the roadway.
