Wie stelle ich eine Frage zu Fahrverboten, um eine zufriedenstellende Antwort zu erhalten?

Wir beantworten gerne jede Frage, können aber nicht immer erraten, was genau Sie fragen.

Selbstverständlich versuchen wir bei konkreten Fragen immer nachzufassen, allerdings verlängert sich dadurch die Antwortzeit erheblich.

Wie sollten also Fragen formuliert werden?

⏺️ Geben Sie zunächst an, um welches Land es sich handelt und was das Problem ist.
⏺️ Wir sind uns oft nicht sicher, ob jemand eine Frage stellt oder uns etwas mitteilt. Das Fehlen eines Fragezeichens am Ende eines Satzes macht einen großen Unterschied.
⏺️ Bevor Sie eine Frage stellen, prüfen Sie die Informationen zu einem bestimmten Land – möglicherweise finden Sie die Antwort schneller, als wir antworten können.

Austria prolongs controls at the border with Czechia

By virtue of a regulation issued by the Austrian Minister of the Interior, checks at the Austrian-Czech border will continue until December 6, 2023.

The amending regulation regarding the temporary reintroduction of border controls at the internal borders with the Czech Republic was published in the Federal Journal of Laws on November 15.

Delays at the Polish-Ukrainian border due to border controls and the strike of Polish hauliers

In order to combat people smuggling and limit illegal migration, Poland and Germany have been controlling trans-border traffic with some countries, which result in delays for those wishing to cross the border. The situation at the Polish-Ukrainian border is made worse by the strike of Polish hauliers, who have been blocking the crossing points at Dorohusk, Korczowa and Hrebenne since November 6. Only passenger cars, buses, and lorries transporting live animals, humanitarian and military aid are allowed to pass through. Polish hauliers are protesting against unfair competition from Ukrainian transport companies after the liberalization of international transport between Ukraine and the EU countries. From next Monday, November 20, a blockade will also be held at the border crossing in Medyka.

Vermeintlich offene Grenzen, aber immer mehr Kontrollen

In letzter Zeit haben einige europäische Länder die Grenzkontrollen wieder eingeführt, um die wachsende Zahl illegaler Einwanderer zu bekämpfen. Dies hat die Situation der Berufskraftfahrer erheblich erschwert, da sie nun längere Wartezeiten an den Grenzen in Kauf nehmen müssen. Hinzu kommen die Proteste der Transportunternehmen, die die Arbeit der Berufskraftfahrer ebenfalls behindern.

Die folgenden Staaten haben beschlossen, die Grenzkontrollen wieder einzuführen:
❌Österreich
Die Landgrenze zwischen Slowenien und Ungarn kann nur bis zum 11. Mai 2024 überquert werden. Darüber hinaus werden bis zum 6. Dezember 2023 Kontrollen an den Grenzen zu Tschechien und bis zum 2. Dezember 2023 zu der Slowakei durchgeführt.
❌Deutschland
Um die Wirksamkeit des Kampfes gegen Menschenschmuggel zu erhöhen und die illegale Migration einzudämmen, sind vorübergehende Grenzkontrollen an den Grenzen zu Polen, Tschechien und der Schweiz eingeführt worden. Die Kontrollen sollen bis zum 5. Dezember 2023 andauern, eine weitere Verlängerung ist jedoch mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit möglich.
❌Polen
An der Grenze zur Slowakei sind Kontrollen eingeführt worden, um illegale Migration von der Balkanroute zu verhindern. Sie sollen bis zum 3. Dezember 2023 fortgesetzt werden. Reisende müssen sich daran erinnern, Reisedokumente (Personalausweis oder Reisepass) mitzuführen. Die polnisch-slowakische Grenze darf an 17 Straßenübergängen überquert werden:
• Radoszyce
• Immergrün
• Muszynka
• Piwniczna-Zdrój – Mnišek nad Popradom
• Jurgów
• Chyżne
• Korbielów
• Zwardoń – Skalité Platforma
• Leluchów – nur für Bürger der EU und der EFTA, sowie deren Ehepartner und Kinder.
• Konieczna – nur für Bürger der EU und der EFTA, sowie deren Ehepartner und Kinder.
• Niedzica – ebenso wie oben.
• Łysa Polana – ebenso wie oben..
• Chochołów – ebenso wie oben..
• Winiarczykówka – ebenso wie oben..
• Ujsoły – ebenso wie oben..
• Bór – ebenso wie oben..
• Jaworzynka – Čierne –Skalité – ebenso wie oben..
Geschlossene Grenzübergänge
❌Finnland
Aufgrund der illegalen Einwanderung hat die finnische Regierung beschlossen, die Grenzübergänge entlang der Grenze zu Russland vorübergehend zu schließen, mit Ausnahme des nördlichsten Grenzübergangs, Raja-Joosepin. Derzeit ist die Stelle 4 Stunden am Tag für TIR-Transporte im geöffnet. Drei Grenzübergänge zu Russland – Kuusamon, Sallan und Vartiuksen – bleiben bis zum 23. Dezember 2023 geschlossen.
Blockierung der Grenzübergänge zur Ukraine
❌Polen
Der Protestaktion polnischer Transportunternehmen an den polnisch-ukrainischen Grenzübergängen in Hrebenne, Korczowa, Dorohusk und Medyka hat erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die Situation der Fahrer. Nur Pkw, Busse, Transporte lebender Tiere, sowie humanitäre und militärische Hilfsgüter werden durchgelassen.
❌Slowakei
Aufgrund der Protesaktion des Verbandes slowakischer Transportunternehmen kann an der slowakisch-ukrainischen Grenze in Vyšné Nemecké-Uzhgorod zu Staus kommen. Die Slowakei hat nicht offiziell über die Blockierung des Grenzübergangs nicht offiziell informiert und auch nicht darüber, ob sie sich den polnischen Transportunternehmen angeschlossen haben. Allerdings sollten Lkw-Fahrer auf eine solche Möglichkeit vorbereitet sein.

How to read truck tyre markings

Different types of vehicles need different tyres. Information about different tyre properties for specific applications is indicated on each tyre model in the form of various sidewall markings.

How to choose the right tyres for your truck?

When buying truck tyres, you should choose reliable suppliers, such as SklepOpon.com, which cooperate with major tyre manufacturers. In this way you can be sure to obtain tyres of the highest quality.

Truck tyre size markings

The size markings for truck tyres are very similar to those used on passenger car tyres. They consist of three basic elements: section width, aspect ratio or profile, and the rim diameter. An example of a popular truck tyre size is 315/70 R22.5 154/150 L.

The first number, 315, indicates the tyres’s section width in millimeters. The second number, 70, indicates the tyre’s aspect ratio, i.e. the height of the sidewall expressed as a percentage of the section width. In this case, it is 70% of 315 mm, i.e. 220.5 mm. The last number, 22.5, is the rim diameter in inches. The letter “R” indicates that the tyre carcass, which is an element of its internal structure, has a radial construction.

The remaining characters, 154/150 L, denote the load index and the speed symbol. The first of the two numbers (154) represents the maximum load (in kg) that the tyre can carry during single tyre assembly; in this case it is 3750 kg. The second number (150) indicates the maximum load during dual tyre assembly (3350 kg). The letter “L” indicates the maximum speed of use, which in this case means the tyre can be used at speeds of up to 120 km/h. All these properties should be selected strictly according to recommendations of the vehicle/trailer manufacturer.

Markings specifying tyre position

Truck tyres are divided into three basic types depending on the axle they are being used on: steer axle tyres, drive axle tyres, trailer axle tyres:

• Steer axle tyres are usually marked with the following symbols: F (Front) or S (Steer).
• Drive axle tyres are usually marked with the letter D (for Drive).
• Trailers/semitrailer axle tyres are sometimes marked with the letter T (for Trailer). Another designation that can also be used is FRT (Free Rolling Tire). Tires with the FRT symbol are designed for trailers or semi-trailers but can also be fitted on axles other than steer and drive axles of a motor vehicle.

It is worth noting that only the FRT marking is a legally approved marking, which is defined in UNECE Regulation No. 54, paragraph 3.1.15. The use of the remaining symbols (F, S, D and T) is not regulated by law and tyre manufacturers may use other symbols.

What does “regroovable” mean on truck tyres?

Unlike passenger car tyres, truck tyres can also be marked with the word “regroovable”, which indicates a tire manufactured with an extra layer of rubber between the cord body and the original tread to enable recutting or regrooving of the original tread pattern, which extends the life of the tyre.

Regrooving can only be performed at authorized operators. Tyre manufacturers strictly define the regrooving parameters of specific tyre models, which include the depth or width of cuts. Regrooving is not allowed when the tread is damaged, as any damage affects the tyre structure and may lead to the corrosion of the metal elements of the tyre’s internal structure.
