It depends on the road. If it's a road with any traffic at all I wouldn't even think about trying it there.
As others have said each upper arm is bolted to the rear subframe with a large bolt going into a 'captive' nut. The captive nuts are held against the subframe using a flimsy metal cage contraption - meaning they're not very 'captive' at all! If the cage starts to bend as you undo the bolt, the captive nut will start spinning and then you're in trouble.
I took the subframe off before even attempting to undo the arm bolts - that gave access to the captive nuts (which are otherwise hidden). One arm bolt came out easily, the other one didn't because the captive nut started spinning.
My advice would be don't try it on a roadside unless you own the road.
