Bridges in Hungary and Germany are subject to EU weight and dimension regulations (Directive 96/53/EC). Many bridges are over 50 years old and not designed for modern heavy loads, requiring strict compliance with axle weight and total tonnage.
Germany restricts long trucks on certain bridges due to structural concerns.
Hungary enforces weight limits at Danube crossings and rural bridges.
Overloaded vehicles risk fines and structural damage.
GPS systems flag bridge restrictions and reroute accordingly.
Axle load must be distributed evenly to avoid concentrated stress.
Purpose for Training: To teach drivers how to respect bridge weight limits, use GPS filters, and avoid infrastructure damage or legal violations.
