Driving bans and accessibility
In the United Kingdom, there is no general driving ban on Sundays and public holidays for freight traffic. In London, however, there is a specific night and weekend driving ban for vehicles with a maximum authorized mass of more than 18 tons. This ban applies to most of the roads within London:
- Monday to Friday: 21:00 - 07:00 hours
- Saturday: 13:00 hours to Monday 07:00 hours
Special circumstances
For vehicles that still need to drive in London during the above time slots, a waiver can be applied for through the Association of London Government (Lorry Control Team). Waivers are granted, for example, for necessary transports such as loading and unloading perishable goods. Prior application and approval are required to avoid fines and delays.
