Heavy traffic: Police covers massive violations on the B20!

The street via the B20 and B21 between Salzburg and Tyrol has been doing discussions for years, especially with regard to heavy goods traffic. As Krone , this route has long been under strict observation by the German police, since there is a night driving ban for trucks. During a check on the night of Monday to Tuesday, it was shown that many drivers disregarded this ban. Out of 18 controlled trucks, nine had no valid exemption. Such violations can not only burden traffic, but also lead to high fines, as can the platform Busseld catalog illustrates.

Another problem that was determined during the control was the insufficient load securing. A vehicle even unauthorized carefully transported dangerous goods, which resulted in additional legal consequences. The Bad Reichenhall police inspection and the Berchtesgadener Land district office have already announced that they will carry out further controls in the future in order to increase security on the streets and enforce the regulations to be observed.

security specifications and permits

Serious transports require, such as the website of Graewe Transporte describes, special permits and subject to strict safety regulations. These transports are characterized by charges that exceed the permissible dimensions or weights and thus require special precautions. In the case of proper transportation, the route, travel times and the use of accompanying vehicles must be approved beforehand.

The approval obligation is clearly regulated: this is necessary if the entire vehicle mass or the dimensions of the load exceeds the permissible values. Accompanying vehicles must then be used depending on the size of the transport, while the security requirements for the implementation must follow strict standards, such as DIN EN 12195-1 for load securing.

regulations for heavy transport

Special regulations regarding travel times apply to heavy transports. For example, trips can be carried out from Monday 9 a.m. to Friday 3 p.m., while weekends and public holidays are excluded. Particularly wide transports that go beyond 3.20 meters are often dependent on night trips between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Settings or violations of these regulations can result in serious consequences, including the cancellation of permits and other legal steps.

The permanent compliance with these regulations is not only important for security on the streets, but also to avoid damage to the infrastructure. After all, secure planning and carrying out heavy transport not only relief for truck drivers, but also contributes to combating illegal activities in this sensitive area of ​​traffic. Due to the latest controls, it is clear: the police have a vigilant eye on compliance with these regulations and will continue to act consistently in the future.
