Germany - no truck bans during the holidays
This year, the federal states have also lifted the driving ban on Sundays and public holidays in accordance with Section 30 (3) of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) by means of general exemption orders for all Easter holidays, so that there is no driving ban for the entire period from Maundy Thursday to Easter Monday inclusive.
The general exemption generally covers all transports as well as empty runs. Due to further lockdown extensions, the federal states have also extended their general exemptions until April 05, 2021 (Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Baden-Württemberg, Schleswig-Holstein, Brandenburg, Hesse, Berlin and Rhineland-Palatinate until June 30, 2021).
