Les gares routières de marchandises ont pour objectif d'éviter que les gros véhicules de transport routier ne pénètrent à l'intérieur des agglomérations urbaines importantes, où ils sont une gêne certaine à la circulation. Elles se situent donc à la périphérie des villes, à des endroits d'accès facile, et elles mettent à la disposition des transporteurs des quais et appareils de manutention, des hangars et entrepôts, de façon à faciliter le chargement et le déchargement des marchandises transportées, qui doivent être livrées en ville par des véhicules de petit tonnage. 2, record 5, French, - gare%20routi%C3%A8re%20de%20marchandises
