Just for your information

We traveled in Germany on two holidays, June 5 & 15. On those days, big rigs, with some exceptions, are not allowed on the road. It makes for much smoother traffic, as they are limited to 80 km per hour and force other traffic to make frequent lane changes at other times. As nice as it is for other traffic, it is no fun for truckers or their companies, as they are stuck in truck stops and rest areas for what I estimate to be 16 to 18 hours of unproductive time away from home.
