28. Main Obstacles
Light trucks Euro V only became available after 2008 – little acceptance of the loading point
Cargo structure is for more frequent small shipments – ignoring loading time restrictions
Control measures politically sensitive
Although involved in planning – chamber of commerce continues to claim „free access“ to city
Media coverage on traffic issues emphasises the problems – although of little significance
