Slovakia: Exemption from the truck driving ban on 29 August
The Presidium of the Slovak Police has considered the request of the Road Carriers Association of the Slovak Republic, CESMAD Slovakia, and grants a general exemption from the driving ban for trucks over 7.5 tonnes GVW on 29 August 2025.
The exemption applies to all heavy goods vehicles on motorways, expressways, first-class roads, and roads designated for international traffic, entering the territory of the Slovak Republic from certain neighbouring countries, provided that their destination (e.g. vehicle base or unloading site) is located within the territory of the Slovak Republic.
The granting of the exemption does not affect the authority of a police officer to prohibit a driver from continuing the journey for the necessary time or to order a specific direction of travel in accordance with § 69 para. 1 (a) of the Act, if required for the safety or smooth flow of road traffic.
