Current Affairs Government pushes for broader restrictions on long-haul trucks
The country’s coalition government, made up of the Civic Democrats, the Christian Democrats and the Greens, has agreed on tightening restrictions in the Czech Republic on long-haul vehicles. On Wednesday, the cabinet met to discuss the issue, agreeing that large trucks should be banned year-round from Czech roads on Fridays between 3 and 6 pm, and Sundays until ten pm. The goal is to clear up traffic on Czech throughways and principal routes as well as to reduce deadly road accidents. But the news has many hauliers - long opposed to a ban on economic grounds - up in arms.
