Catalonia
The Catalan Interior Ministry has published a decision in which almost all existing restrictions on truck traffic have been lifted from 1 April. Permanent restrictions about given sections of national roads N-II, N-240 and N-340 are suspended, so trucks with four axles or more and a GVW of over 26 tonnes are no longer directed to motorways with road toll. This relaxation will last as long as the state of emergency in Spain. They apply for vehicles and vehicle sets that transport goods, as well as vehicles carrying out special transport and the transportation of dangerous goods.
Also since yesterday, restrictions on dangerous goods as well as special transport and special vehicles have been exempted on Sundays and public holidays on all Catalan roads. Restrictions for such types of transportation are also suspended in the Cadí and Vielha tunnels and, in the case of special transport, on the A-2 motorway between 444 km and 527 km. The restrictions on the N-230 and C-28 roads in Valle de Arán are similar – they have been temporarily lifted.
However, dangerous vehicles still need to follow the routes established for this mode of transport (RIMP network).
In addition, there is still a requirement for vehicles or vehicle groups of all types with a GVW above 7.5 t in transit through Catalonia or on long routes through its territory (over 65 km), according to which they should use the European route network, motorways or dual carriageways.
Austria and truck bans
Austria extends the derogation from traffic bans for trucks over 7.5 tonnes to 19 April inclusive, as transport minister Leonore Gewessler told the APA news agency yesterday.
