The Lviv region has imposed restrictions on the movement of heavy vehicles due to hot weather.
Drivers can wait out the hot period in special areas for temporary parking. The restrictions apply when the air temperature exceeds +28°C. The ban applies to vehicles weighing over 24 tons and with an axle load of more than 7 tons.
“The restrictions do not apply to the transportation of hazardous, perishable goods, live animals and birds, as well as transportation related to preventing or eliminating the consequences of emergencies,” the announcement states.
Patrol police crews monitor drivers’ compliance with traffic rules. Truck drivers are asked to take this information into account when planning their route.
