The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has announced the implementation of a temporary restriction on the circulation of heavy cargo vehicles across major highways. This measure is being enacted due to anticipated high temperatures, with readings expected to reach 32 degrees Celsius or higher. Specifically, the restriction targets cargo vehicles with a total mass exceeding 20 tons.
The advisory indicates that this temporary limitation will be active today, running from 11:00 AM until 5:30 PM. While the restriction is in place on primary highways, the Ministry clarified that the movement of these heavy vehicles will remain unrestricted on national, regional, and connecting roads. Furthermore, several categories of vehicles have been granted exemptions from this weight restriction.
These include all law enforcement and public security vehicles, emergency services personnel, and transport associated with health institutions. The Ministry issued this notice as an appeal to both economic operators and commercial drivers, urging adherence to the stipulated guidelines to ensure safety and manage infrastructure load during the period of extreme heat. The purpose of the temporary measures is to mitigate potential risks associated with heavy vehicle passage under high thermal stress.
All stakeholders are advised to monitor official channels for updates regarding the lifting of these restrictions.
