Hungary: a change in the weekend HGV driving ban
In response to a request from the Association of Hungarian Road Transporters (MKFE) regarding abnormally hot weather, the Ministry of Transport has partially suspended the HGV driving ban on national roads during the upcoming weekend (August 31 – September 1).
Normally, the HGV driving ban would apply from 3:00 PM on Saturday to 10:00 PM on Sunday, but motivated by the concern for drivers’ health, the Ministry of Transport has decided to introduce a derogation from the ban during the weekend night.
As a result, the ban will be in force:
• from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Saturday, August 31;
• from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Sunday, September 1.
