Restrictions on freight traffic have been imposed in Kyiv due to the heat, according to the 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,” according to a statement on the police’s Telegram channel.
The police report that drivers can wait out the hot period at temporary parking areas in the road shoulders and near roadside service facilities.
