Slovakia: a derogation from the HGV driving ban on April 18
In connection with the upcoming Easter holidays, the Presidium of the Police of the Slovak Republic has announced a special derogation from of the HGV driving ban.
The derogation will be in effect on Friday, April 18, and will apply only to lorries returning to Slovakia from neighboring countries, provided their destination is a vehicle station, the company’s operational centre or a place of unloading located in Slovakia. The exemption applies to journeys made along motorways, expressways, class I roads and roads designated for international traffic – but only in the case of vehicles whose place of destination is located in Slovakia. In other words, trucks passing through Slovakia will not able to benefit from this exemption.
It is worth noting that a similar exemption has not been granted for Monday, April 21, which means that on that day the HGV driving ban will apply as usual, from 00:00 to 10:00 PM.
