At the end of June, the German government published a regulation on summer traffic restrictions, introducing some changes.
The revised document regulates the ban on trucks over 7.5t and trucks with trailers from 7 am to 8 pm on all Saturdays between 1 July and 31 August 2024 and in subsequent years.

Map of alternative routes
Each year, to help find alternative routes, the German transport association BGL produces a map for truck drivers and hauliers. The digital map is freely scalable, allowing it to be used on mobile devices.
It is available free of charge on the BGL website. Prohibited routes are marked in red. Alternative routes recommended for truck drivers are marked in green.
The map is also available on the app of the German motorway operator Autobahn GmbH.
