Norwegian term or phrase: lossing i kryss
From an HSE plan for a construction site:

7 XXX i hovedsak gjør all lossing inne på sin tomt.
Dersom lossing i kryss er nødvendig må dette varsles og gjøres i dialog med Statsbygg (Rigg ansv eller KU).

unloading at a (the) junction


Explanation:
I offer this alternative for three reasons:
a) I feel 'at' fits better than 'in' here
b) junction is more common in British English
c) to try cover the ambiguity in context as raised by Leif

Example sentence(s):
  • If unloading at the junction is necessary, advance warning of this must be given
