❌In the Ruse region, truck traffic will be restricted on the I-2 road from the exit of Ruse towards Razgrad, between the 12th and 37th kilometers, and on the I-5 road Ruse – Veliko Tarnovo, from the exit of Ruse, between the 6th and 65th kilometers. Traffic will also be halted on the I-5 road from the town of Byala towards Ruse to Ruse itself.
❌In the Razgrad region, truck traffic will be restricted on the secondary road I-2 Ruse – Shumen – Varna between the turn-off to the village of Pisanec and the village of Beli Lom, between the 37th and 93rd kilometers.
❌In the Veliko Tarnovo region, truck traffic over 20 tons will be temporarily restricted on the I-4 road Sevlievo – Veliko Tarnovo – Antonovo, between the village of Novo Selo and the turn-off to the village of Kavlak, between the 101st and 173rd kilometers.

The suspension of truck traffic on selected sections of the national road network in the afternoon, when temperatures are at their highest, is aimed at minimizing the risk of road surface deformation and protecting the lives and health of travelers. Trucks will need to wait off the road at designated locations without obstructing traffic for other road users. The restriction does not apply to vehicles transporting perishable goods, temperature-controlled cargo, live animals, and hazardous materials.
