Slovakia: exceptional suspension of the HGV bans
The suspension applies to vehicles whose destination (e.g. the company HQ or the place of unloading) is located in Slovakia.
Following the request of ČESMAD Slovakia, a general exemption from the HGV ban has been granted in view of the upcoming holidays: All Saints’s Day (November 1) and the Day of Freedom and Democracy (November 17). The exemption applies to all HGVs traveling on motorways, first class roads and roads with international traffic, arriving in Slovakia from some neighboring countries, whose destination (e.g. company HQ or the place of unloading) is located in Slovakia.
