Tips and advice:

  1. Route planning: due to traffic restrictions, we recommend checking schedules in advance and adapting transport plans. It’s worth considering alternative routes and coordinating driving hours to minimize any delays.
  2. Alternative Routes: Consider alternative routes that may be less traveled and not subject to restrictions.
  3. News monitoring: Monitor road information and traffic announcements on a regular basis. This can help you avoid unexpected situations on the road.

We wish you a pleasant weekend!
