Catalonia: HGV traffic ban on N-340 and N-240
The ban is intended to shift HGV traffic away from national roads to motorways, with the primary goal of improving road safety and decreasing traffic congestion and pollution.
The ban applies to heavy lorries (with 4 or more axles) and has been introduced on sections of N-340 and N-240 that run through Catalonia as far as the border with the province of Castellón.
