Slovakia eases truck bans on November 1

Good news for carriers planning routes through Slovakia at the beginning of November. At the request of the ČESMAD Slovakia association, the Presidium of the Slovak Police Force has granted an exemption from the driving ban for heavy goods vehicles in effect on November 1, 2025.

The exemption applies to vehicles entering Slovak territory from neighboring countries, provided that their destination is located within Slovakia – for example, a delivery point or the carrier’s operating base. The decision aims to facilitate the return of vehicles to the country and reduce congestion at border crossings.

Truck movement will be permitted only during the following time windows:
– from 00:00 to 10:00
– and from 20:00 to 24:00

The ČESMAD Slovakia association expressed its gratitude to the Slovak Police Force for its flexible approach and support of the transport sector during the holiday traffic restrictions. It should be noted that November 1, All Saints’ Day, is a public holiday in Slovakia, during which truck driving bans normally apply on national roads.
