The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has issued a directive announcing temporary restrictions on the movement of heavy goods vehicles today. These limitations specifically affect goods transport vehicles with a total weight exceeding 20 tons. According to the ministry’s official notice, the restriction on vehicular circulation is scheduled for today, August 5, 2026, and will be enforced on the highway corridor between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM.
The primary rationale cited for this measure is the forecast of high ambient temperatures, which are expected to reach 32 degrees Celsius or higher. The Ministry stated that the temporary halt in the circulation of these heavier trucks is a precautionary measure designed to mitigate risks associated with extreme heat on major transport routes. The advisory covers national, regional, and local networks, emphasizing the need for caution among commercial operators.
Authorities urge all drivers operating heavy trucks to plan their logistics schedules accordingly to avoid the restricted time window. The directive underscores that while the restriction is temporary, adherence to the specified weight and time parameters is mandatory for ensuring the safety of both the vehicles and the public traversing the highways. This action is part of the ministry’s ongoing efforts to manage infrastructure use during periods of severe weather conditions.
