Sure, here is the description of changes to the Traffic Regulations, as I promised:
1. **Essence of Changes:** The Resolution introduces changes to the Traffic Regulations, in particular, adds the definitions of “container transportation” and “container carrier,” and also changes the permissible maximum weight for certain types of vehicles engaged in container transportation.
2. **Structure and Main Provisions:**
* The definitions of the terms “container transportation” and “container carrier” have been added in paragraph 1.10 of the Traffic Regulations.
* Amendments have been made to subparagraph “b” of paragraph 22.5, which concerns the permissible actual weight of vehicles. In particular, the maximum weight for container carriers on roads of national importance has been increased.
* It is indicated that other terms are used in the meanings given in the Customs Code of Ukraine and the laws “On Road Transport” and “On Multimodal Transportation.”
3. **Key Provisions for Use:**
* **Definitions of container transportation and container carriers:** This is important for understanding to which vehicles the new rules on maximum weight apply.
* **Increase in the maximum weight for container carriers:** This will allow for the transportation of more goods by container carriers on roads of national importance, but it is important to consider the restrictions for roads of local importance.
* **References to other laws:** It is necessary to take into account the definitions of terms given in the Customs Code and the laws on road transport and multimodal transportation for the correct application of these changes.
