Restrictions on truck traffic have been imposed in Kyiv due to the heat wave, according to the capital’s Patrol Police.
“To preserve the road surface, trucks are prohibited from traveling when the air temperature reaches +28 degrees Celsius or higher. The ban applies to vehicles with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 metric tons and an axle load exceeding 7 metric tons,” the police stated in a message on their Telegram channel on Sunday.
It is noted that drivers can wait out the hot period at temporary parking areas in highway shoulders and near roadside service facilities.
A separate announcement will be made regarding the lifting of the restriction.
