Earlier this week, Formula One announced that there would not be a replacement for the Russian F1 Grand Prix on the 2022 calendar. Multiple media reports of this announcement also stated that a European race between the Italian and Singapore GPs was unviable due to “EU freight rules". While that is technically true, a spokesperson for DHL, F1's official logistics provider, has told Trans.INFO that it is post-Brexit cabotage limitations that are actually the issue.

As we have frequently reported on this website in the past, there have been multiple occasions in the UK whereby HGV drivers have been prevented from using parking areas in towns and villages. On top of that, more and more towns are also implementing HGV driving bans. However, of course, this trend is not exclusive to UK. Indeed, we are now observing more examples of this in Germany and other countries in mainland Europe. One of these examples concerns the German city of Klein Berkel, which recently <a href="https://www.dewezet.de/mediathek/video_artikel,-video-stadt-riegelt-lkwparkplatz-mit-bauzaun-ab-_arid,2746383.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decided to fence off the side of a road that had been used by truck drivers as a parking place</a>.

In the latest official statement on the Operation Brock situation, the Kent Resilience Forum (KRF) and Kent County Council have said that the freight traffic management measure will end on June 5th “under current plans". The announcement is nonetheless somewhat confusing as it had previously been stated that the measure would stay until ferry capacity on the short straits had been fully restored.
