- Restriction on heavy vehicles during peak city hours.
Public Reaction and Debate
The new regulations have sparked a heated debate among residents, transport unions, and urban planners. While some appreciate the intention to improve road safety and shorten commute times, others argue that the rules are too stringent and lack adequate public consultation.
