During Whit Monday, 16 May, you must stop your truck in the following countries:

Germany (00.00 - 22.00 hours)
France (22.00 hours prior to Sundays and public holidays - 22.00 hours)
Hungary (22.00 hours prior to Sundays and public holidays - 22.00 hours)
Austria (00:00 - 22:00)
Switzerland (00:00 - 24:00)
Please note that the driving ban applies in addition to the usual weekend driving bans. This means that trucks in the above countries are also banned from driving on Sundays and often have to stop as early as Saturday evening.

In Luxembourg, the driving ban depends on your destination. If you are driving from Luxembourg towards Germany, there is a driving ban from Sunday 11.30pm to Monday 9.45pm. If you are going to France, then the driving ban starts as early as Saturday at 9.30pm, until Monday 9.45pm. If Luxembourg is your final destination, no driving ban applies.
