The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has issued a directive announcing a temporary operational restriction affecting heavy cargo vehicles today. This measure restricts the general circulation of all cargo vehicles whose gross weight surpasses 20 tons. The temporary restriction is scheduled to be in effect on the main highway corridor between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM.
The primary justification for this temporary measure is the forecast of high ambient temperatures, which are expected to reach 32 degrees Celsius or higher. The Ministry has specified several categories of vehicles exempt from this weight-based restriction. Exemptions are granted to vehicles associated with law enforcement, public security agencies, emergency medical services, and healthcare institutions, ensuring continued access for critical operations.
Significantly, the circulation of cargo vehicles remains unrestricted on all national, regional, and connecting roads, allowing alternative logistical routes to remain fully operational. The Ministry strongly advises all economic operators and commercial drivers to adhere strictly to the announced schedule and observe the established restriction times. Compliance is necessary to mitigate potential risks associated with high-temperature operations and to ensure the smooth flow of necessary goods.
Drivers are urged to plan their daily movements in advance, accounting for the designated hours when the weight restriction is enforced on the main highway.
