Restrictions on the movement of large vehicles weighing more than 24 tons have been imposed in Kyiv due to the heat wave, the capital’s Patrol Police reported.
“Today, on August 26, restrictions on the movement of freight transport have been introduced in the capital,” the Patrol Police said in a message on Telegram on Monday.
It is noted that in order to preserve the road surface, trucks are prohibited from moving when the air temperature is above +28 degrees Celsius. The ban applies to vehicles with an actual weight of more than 24 tons and an axle load of more than 7 tons.
“Drivers can wait out the hot period at temporary parking areas in the right-of-way of highways and near road service facilities,” the Patrol Police reminded.
It is noted that the lifting of the restriction will be announced later.
