92. Delivery vehicle

A delivery vehicle is a vehicle used to transport and deliver goods, parcels, supplies or other items to homes, businesses or other destinations. Delivery vehicles can include vans, trucks, cars, motorcycles, cargo bicycles and other vehicles depending on the type and quantity of goods being transported.

Delivery vehicles must follow the ordinary traffic rules applying to their vehicle category as well as any specific rules concerning loading and unloading, restricted-access areas, parking, vehicle dimensions and low-emission zones. Permission to make a delivery does not automatically allow a vehicle to stop or park anywhere.

Can a delivery vehicle stop to load or unload goods?

Yes, where stopping is legally permitted. Many traffic systems distinguish genuine loading or unloading from ordinary parking when the vehicle remains only for the time necessary to perform the activity.

Can delivery vehicles enter pedestrian zones?

Only where local rules or signs specifically allow delivery access. Access may be limited to certain hours, and vehicles may be required to travel at very low speed and give priority to pedestrians.
