The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has announced the immediate implementation of temporary circulation restrictions affecting heavy freight vehicles on major highways. These measures are being enacted due to forecasts predicting high temperatures, with readings expected to reach 32 degrees Celsius or higher. Under the new guidelines, the restrictions will be in effect today between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM.
Specifically, the limitations target commercial vehicles with a gross weight exceeding 20 tons traveling on primary highways. The Ministry clarified that these restrictions apply only to major highways. Consequently, no such limitations are imposed on national, regional, or connecting roads, as the requisite high-temperature conditions have not been met across those routes.
The directive outlines a temporary measure aimed at managing traffic flow and safety during peak heat periods. Authorities emphasized that they will maintain continuous monitoring of temperature levels and will issue timely notifications to both the public and economic operators regarding any necessary adjustments to these traffic restrictions. All affected vehicles must adhere to the specified weight guidelines during the designated timeframe.
