The suspension of truck traffic on selected sections of the national road network in the afternoon, when temperatures are at their highest, is aimed at minimizing the risk of road surface deformation and protecting the lives and health of travelers. Trucks will need to wait off the road at designated locations without obstructing traffic for other road users. The restriction does not apply to vehicles transporting perishable goods, temperature-controlled cargo, live animals, and hazardous materials.
