The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has issued an advisory announcing a temporary restriction on the circulation of heavy freight vehicles on the main highway today. This measure has been implemented in response to forecast high temperatures, which are predicted to exceed 32 degrees Celsius. The mandated restriction will be in effect during the period spanning from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
The advisory specifically targets freight vehicles with a total mass exceeding 20 tons. The Ministry has noted several exemptions to this directive. Vehicles belonging to law enforcement agencies, public security units, emergency services, and health institutions are exempt from the temporary limitations.
In light of the advisory, the Ministry urges all economic operators and commercial drivers to adhere strictly to the specified schedule and plan their movements accordingly to ensure safety and operational continuity. It is important to note that while highway movement is restricted, the circulation of these large vehicles on national, regional, and connecting roads remains unrestricted. This phased approach aims to mitigate potential risks associated with sustained high ambient temperatures affecting heavy loads and infrastructure integrity.
Authorities emphasize compliance with these temporary guidelines to maintain smooth traffic flow across the region.
