SLOVAKIA

There doesn't appear to be a dedicated site with truck related info on Slovakia so here are some bits and pieces I picked up when I was there a couple of weeks ago:

Vignettes are required for all vehicles.
Cost for a vehicle over 12t (yellow sticker) is 10€/day. The vignette can be purchased at the border or at service stations in cash in Euros. Euros are widely accepted, so there is no real need to change up any currency.
A daily vignette is valid for 24 hours from the time of purchase. The time of purchase is indicated on a control slip which should be detached from the vignette and be retained for inspection if required. The vehicle registration number must be entered onto this control slip. The vignette itself should be stuck on the right hand side of the windscreen. Camera enforcement in operation.

Dipped headlights are now required at all times.

And finally, the biggy:
No overtaking for vehicles over 3,5 t on ALL Motorways and dual carriageways in the whole of Slovakia
This is signed up at the border but there are no repeater signs anywhere else on the road network.
Usual rules apply: Ignorance is no defence

Information for Spain for Hazardous loads

These links are posted by me but Vascoingles made it possible by
translating the links where it was required,

SPAINISH-LINK
;List of Recommended Parking Places Along The Officially Authorised ADR Routes In Spain

basically just a list of where parking places for ADR can be found
Below is a translation of Spanish into English of the headings from the link,,

Column A is the Area and the road it is on
Column Bis the km point
Column C is the name
Column D is the locality
Column E is whether or not lit E means badly lit B means well lit
Column F is whether or not guarded No means no 24 means guarded 24 hours
Column G is the amount of square meters available for parking purposes

At the bottom it says

Note : You may use this list in order to plan your journey and obligatory stops. It is not obligatory to use these parking areas. This list is only a guide and may be revised, and does not pretend to be a complete list and there may well be more adequate parking areas available along the routes than those mentioned in the list.
This is not an official list and the ones marked in yellow are the best prepared for ADR/HAZ use.

Next link OFFICAL -ROUTES

When transporting ADR/HAZ throughout SPAIN;;

The Spanish bit just says that it is a list of ADR approved routes when travelling through Spain.
basically the law stipulates that you must stick to Autopistas/Autovia (Motorways & Dual Carriageways) unless there is none available to where you are going.
ROUTES marked with a ( * ) are not to be used between
0000---0600hrs

any complaints send ,em to me and ,THE Thank you,s to Vascoingles

does anyone for the definitive answer to if there is a driving ban in luxembourg on a sunday?

[Simon]

does anyone for the definitive answer to if there is a driving ban in luxembourg on a sunday?

There's no BAN as such, BUT,

You can't go into Luxembourg if you're transiting it for Germany or France, on a Sunday.
If you're tipping Lux' you can.

Just before the border are two big yellow signs with the times when you can cross into Lux, 1 for Germany, 1 for Framce. They're more or less the times when the bans start and finish in Germany or ............................ France.

They don't want their services jammed up solid with trucks on the slip roads in and out, going nowhere.

[mjbaron]

quote from the fta handbook 2009 edition:

Does anybody know of a set of POI's for the euro vignette. I know there is a visual list but wondered if there was a set of pois already done anywhere.

I don't think there is, nothing I've heard about at least.
Where do you generally travel from?

Coming from Europe into Benelux it's usually fairly easy to get your vignette.
Most Shell stations near the borders, in France and Germany, do the Vignette. Most Shell stations near the borders in Holland do it too although the Dutch will give you some lee-way.
Within Belgium and Lux' it isn't easy to find anywhere that does it, so I prefer to play it safe and get my vignette before crossing those borders. Their Police won't give you any lee-way.

If it's heading into Scandinavia your concerned about, I'm afraid I've no idea.

[Alan...]

Thanks for that. It was just that one of our boys was delayed for a day and needed extra tax for carrying on. He ended up backtracking to verne which is a bit of a pain.

Will have to see if i cant get one made up from the list on the Ages website.

[brit pete]

@Alan sometimes it is cheaper to buy a extra day that may or may not be used as getting caught
without the Vignette, the costs is cheaper than getting fined, we used to have a years Vignette
as it worked out cheaper for our firm in the long run ,

[Inselaffe]

Online booking is the way to go guys.

Do it yourself or get your office bods to do it HERE

If you have a tom tom you can download the OV2 file from Tom Tom home.
But as said by Inselaffe you can book them on line so if needed just phone your office to book the extra day
