\n
The Hungarian Ministry of Construction and Transport, following a request from the national road hauliers\u2019 association MKFE, has temporarily relaxed the weekend truck traffic ban for 5\u20136 July due to the ongoing heatwave.<\/div>\n<\/h1>\n

The decision was made in consultation with industry stakeholders and aims to ensure the uninterrupted flow of goods. As a result, transport companies will have greater flexibility in scheduling their operations.<\/p>\n

Although the ban formally remains in place, a nighttime exemption window has been introduced during which trucks are allowed to move freely. This temporary measure is intended to ease the burden of summer restrictions.<\/p>\n

In practice, this means that the driving ban for vehicles over 7.5 tonnes gross weight (GVW) will apply as follows this weekend:
\n\u274c Saturday, 5 July: from 15:00 to 22:00
\n\u274c Sunday, 6 July: from 06:00 to 22:00<\/p>\n

General exemptions from Hungary\u2019s truck traffic restrictions:<\/b>
\nDuring the enforcement of the \u201ckamionstop\u201d (truck ban), the following vehicles are completely exempt:
\nVehicles transporting:
\n\u25aa\ufe0f live animals
\n\u25aa\ufe0f fresh milk and dairy products
\n\u25aa\ufe0f fresh or frozen meat and meat products
\n\u25aa\ufe0f fresh bread
\n\u25aa\ufe0f perishable foodstuffs
\n\u25aa\ufe0f eggs
\n\u25aa\ufe0f fresh (unprocessed) vegetables and fruits
\n\u25aa\ufe0f grains and grain products
\n\u25aa\ufe0f Empty vehicles: en route to pick up the above cargo or returning from delivery (provided the vehicle is purpose-built for transporting such goods)<\/p>\n

\u2757IMPORTANT:<\/b> Additional summer exemption for returning trucks
\nThroughout July and August, trucks returning from abroad are allowed to travel from the national border to their company base in Hungary or to their first unloading point, even during the general truck ban.<\/p>\n

However, this exemption does not apply on the following 19 specific road sections during weekends and public holidays:<\/p>\n
