Truck Traffic Temporarily Restricted in Surkhandarya Due to Extreme Heat

In Surkhandarya region, temporary restrictions have been imposed on the movement of heavy trucks because of abnormal heat. Reports indicate that daytime temperatures reach 42–44 °C. Under such conditions, asphalt pavement temperatures rise to 70–80 °C, reducing its load‑bearing capacity. As a result, heavy truck traffic can cause road surface deformation, wheel ruts, and other technical damage. Based on the requirements of the laws “On Road Traffic” and “On Automobile Roads,” the movement of heavy trucks in Termez city, district centers, and public highways is temporarily restricted daily from 10:00 to 19:00. Drivers and freight companies have been urged to strictly comply with the restrictions and plan transportation schedules accordingly.
