Route with an ADR tunnel code

Tunnels have an ADR category from A to E. A category C tunnel is prohibited for loads with tunnel code B and C; D and E may pass. Truckroute knows the category of the tunnels and plans the route with the code of your load.

How to choose the code

Under Dimensions and weight, switch on Dangerous goods and choose the tunnel code from the transport document. A combined code such as B/D applies with the first letter to carriage in tanks or in bulk and with the second letter to other carriage; tick tank or bulk if that applies. If you do not know the code, Truckroute uses B, the strictest.

Designated routes in the Netherlands and Spain

For the Netherlands and Spain, Truckroute also follows the mandatory designated routes for dangerous goods. In the Netherlands these are the routes for route-bound substances (routeplichtige stoffen): switch on Route-bound substance under ADR and, in municipalities whose designated route is known, the route stays off the other municipal roads. National roads are open, and within 3 km of your starting point, your stops and your destination the route may leave it for the last part to the address. On a provincial or municipal road whose designation is not yet known, the route continues and tells you that no mandatory route is known there. Coverage is still limited and grows municipality by municipality: currently Amsterdam, 23 municipalities in the province of Utrecht and the provincial roads in South Holland. In Spain it is the RIMP (Red de Itinerarios para MercancĂ­as Peligrosas): with dangerous goods the route stays on that network and only leaves it near your starting point, your stops and your destination.

The tunnel categories come from OpenStreetMap, where they are recorded per tunnel according to ADR 1.9.5. The signs at the tunnel always prevail.
