Due to the increasing traffic on the Saxon highways, the local transport department decided to introduce new overtaking bans for trucks. They will be valid during certain hours of a day.
According to the Saxony Ministry of Transport, the new overtaking bans for heavy goods vehicles are to be in force by the end of May this year. This solution, according to the ministry, will improve traffic flow and increase security on sensitive sections. In total, prohibitions will cover 190 km of roads.
