Reasons for the driving ban
The truck driving ban is also generally imposed in Germany during the summer holidays. From July 1st to August 31st, traffic for trucks weighing over 7.5 tons and trucks with trailers is severely restricted. This ban applies on all Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. to ease road traffic during travel time. Not only the motorways, but also important federal roads will be affected. bmv.de has published detailed information about this.
The responsible authorities have also issued a driving ban on Sundays and public holidays. This also applies to trucks over 7.5 tonnes and applies on Sundays and public holidays from midnight to 10 p.m. Exceptions are possible, but these must be requested from the relevant traffic authorities in good time.
Exceptions and Conditions
There are some applicable exceptions for certain transport, such as combinations of rail and road transport or the transport of fresh food. Urgent deployments of towing and roadside assistance vehicles are also exempt from the regulations. Empty trips in connection with the goods mentioned are also permitted as they can help maintain the logistics flow. The Federal Highway Research Institute provides important information on this.
Anyone who does not follow the new regulations could quickly find themselves in trouble, which is why it is advisable to find out about the exact regulations before setting off. Ultimately, these measures are intended to make roads safer for all road users during the hot summer months.
