# Dornauer Proposes Relaxing Truck Night Driving Ban October 11, 2026 at 01:44 PM > Tyrolean MP Georg Dornauer suggests allowing Sunday night transit on the A12 and A13 motorways to address ongoing legal and toll issues. **Georg Dornauer**, a free member of the [Tyrolean]() state parliament and former Deputy Governor, is advocating for a relaxation of the truck night driving ban. He proposes allowing continuous driving on Sundays starting at 10:00 PM on the [A12]() and [A13]() motorways. The current ban runs from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM on Sundays and holidays. Dornauer suggests doubling night tolls, implementing noise protection, and prioritizing emission-free vehicles. Currently, electric and hydrogen trucks already have specific exemptions. This proposal comes as Italy files a transit lawsuit and the EU Advocate General labels the ban contrary to law. Despite this, Governor [Anton Mattle]() and the ÖVP-Social Democrat coalition intend to maintain existing transit emergency measures in the region.
