- Trucks under 1.25 tons: Allowed within the city except during peak hours: 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM – 9:00 PM.
- Trucks from 1.25 tons to under 2.5 tons: Specific regulations for this weight range are missing from the original article. Please refer to local regulations for precise details.
- Trucks over 2.5 tons: Prohibited from operating in the city from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Outside these hours, access is permitted on designated corridor routes.
