The transport ministry has announced that the road ban on goods-carrying vehicles will be once again put in place, this time for the upcoming 2026 Chinese New Year festive season.
The road ban will be enforced from February 14 to 15, 2026, which is prior to the Chinese New Year public holiday, and then from February 21 to 22, 2026, which is after the public holiday. This is to ensure smooth traffic flow as well as to reduce the risk of incidents throughout the festive period, the transport ministry stated.
As before, the road ban will apply to three categories of goods-carrying vehicles, each with varying ban periods. Category 1 is a full ban for the stated dates, Category 2 vehicles are banned from 8pm to 8am, and Category 3 vehicles (mobile cranes and cement mixer trucks) are banned from 6pm to 6am within a travel distance of 25 km from their construction site, subject to permitted hours of operation on the roads involved.
Similarly, not all goods-carrying vehicles are banned during these times. Commercial vehicles not listed are permitted to use the roads as usual during this period, as are heavy vehicles and mobile cranes providing emergency services.
