Don Madge Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 There are additional driving bans in Germany for HGV's in July and August full details and map at http://tinyurl.com/goujo As well as the all year round Sunday/public holiday ban in July/August HGV's are banned from many roads on Saturday as well. So if you are planning a route through Germany you might find the info useful. Regards Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel E Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Don, When I checked last year, speed limits and HGV autobahn lane restrictions applied to motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes. I never thought to check the limits for Sunday, etc., driving, but my understanding was clearly that motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are restricted to 50mph (80kph) on autobahns, and are subject to confinement to the nearside lane on 2-lane motorways when that restriction applies to HGVs.
