The ministry noted that waiting in an overheated driver's cab is not only unhealthy, it could also significantly impair professional drivers' ability to concentrate after moving on. 

The lifting of the ban is also justified by the need to preserve the quality of delivered goods and the prevention of damage to them, the ministry added.

According to general rules, in July and August lorry bans are in effect on weekends from Saturday 3 p.m. until Sunday 10 p.m.
