About

Condutores Profissionais gathers the practical information that people who live on the road need every day: driving and rest times, lorry driving bans across Europe, road closures and the news that changes the way the job is done.

What you will find here

  • Driving and rest times — the rules of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 and of working time, explained without legalese, with a calculator for the day in progress.
  • Driving bans in Europe — when lorries cannot drive, country by country, with a direct link to the official portal where the calendar is published.
  • Traffic and closures — restrictions that matter to professional transport, and the official sources for real-time information.
  • News — goods, passengers, law, enforcement and tachographs.

In which languages

The site is written in Portuguese and translated into Spanish, English, French, Italian, German, Polish, Romanian and Dutch. The daily traffic alerts are published in Portuguese only, so that they reach the road as quickly as possible.

How the content is made

Every page states the date it was updated and the sources used. Whenever the information comes from legislation, the link points to the official text on EUR-Lex or to the competent national authority.

Traffic rules change often and, in some countries, are set by an annual calendar or by regional decision. No page on this site replaces the official publication — they are there to help you plan the trip and know where to confirm.

Notice. The content is informative and does not constitute legal advice. If in doubt about a specific situation, check the applicable legal text and the competent authority of the country you are driving in.
