France lifts the weekend HGV driving traffic ban for vehicles with humanitarian aid
The exemption has been introduced by a decree issued on March 3.
The exemption from the HGV driving ban on the upcoming weekend (March 12 and 13) applies to vehicles transporting goods for humanitarian purposes to Ukraine or to neighboring countries, with the exception of Russia and Belarus.
In the event of an inspection, drivers must be able to prove that the transport complies with the conditions of the exemption by providing an authorisation document. The document must be carried in the vehicle or immediately accessible, e.g. on a mobile device.
