Germany is expanding truck driving restrictions on three major autobahns, shifting the ban from Sundays to include Saturdays during July and August. The measure aims to alleviate severe traffic congestion, particularly around the Berlin metropolitan area. Previously, the restrictions only applied on Sundays. Authorities hope the expanded ban will reduce bottlenecks and improve traffic flow during the peak summer travel season. The decision comes in response to ongoing issues with traffic delays and gridlock impacting both commercial and private drivers. This temporary measure is focused on mitigating congestion rather than a permanent policy change. Further details regarding the specific autobahn sections affected have not been released.
