The traffic of freight trucks in Bulgaria will be suspended in the afternoons of official holidays and days off. The ban will be valid for the remainder of 2012 and will supend all heavy freight truck traffic from Bulgarian roads between 4 pm and 10 pm, including the day before the holiday, and the last official day off.The move is implemented to ease the transportation of Bulgarian citizens who have chosen to travel for the holidays.
A prior ban for afternoon freight truck traffic during the summer will be extended, and trucks will have to stay off the roads 4-10 pm, May 20 through September 30.
Participants in the meeting agreed to ban the movement of trucks on the weekends after the establishment of enough parking and parking areas.The construction and upgrading of parkings will be done by public-private partnership, the state will provide land, and the branch will invest in them.
Currently the country has 94 parking lots for heavy vehicles, but a few of them meet the security requirements, living conditions and services.
The restrictions for heavy vehicles on holidays and weekends is not a precedent in Europe. Similar bans have been introduced in several European countries like Germany, Austria, Hungary, France, Italy, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania and others. |
