Hungary: an advance notice about a change in the HGV driving ban
In response to a request from the Association of Hungarian Road Transporters (MKFE), the Ministry of Transport has partially suspended the HGV driving ban during the upcoming long weekend (Pentacost) by establishing a ‘time window’ when the movement of HGVs with a MAM above 7.5t is allowed
As a result, the HGV driving will not start at 10:00 PM on Saturday, May 18, as would normally be the case, but at 6:00 on Whit Sunday, May 19 and will last until 10:00 PM, when the second time window will start until 6:00 AM on Whit Monday. The HGV ban will then be in effect all day until 10:00 PM.
In other words, the HGV driving ban applies on:
⏩ May 19 (Whit Sunday) from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM,
⏩ May 20 (Whit Monday) from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM,
Thanks to the relaxation HGV drivers have two 8-hour night breaks in the driving ban, during which they can continue driving instead of having to wait in the parking lot from Saturday to Monday evening. More information about HGV driving bans and derogations from these bans that are in effect in different countries can be found at www.trafficban.com.
