Tashkent and trucks: what is known about rush-hour restrictions, checkpoints and truck parking

Over the past months of 2025–2026, Tashkent authorities have several times announced measures for freight transport. We have collected what is confirmed by Spot.uz publications.

What was reported

• on October 20, 2025, the Minister of Internal Affairs said that the president had allowed truck traffic in Tashkent to be restricted during the morning and evening rush hours; the hours and the list of streets were not named;
• on November 14–17, 2025, the Ministry of Internal Affairs fully closed the city center to trucks and banned trucks from the regions from entering the city, for the duration of international events;
• according to a Spot report of December 5, 2025, from July 1, 2026 the Traffic Management Center (TsODD) gets the right to restrict certain types of vehicles, including trucks, on road sections, set speed limits and enforce weight and dimension controls;
• parking for at least 3,500 trucks and 5,500 cars is planned at five checkpoints — Erkin, Sharq, Bektemir, Uch-Qahramon and Turobov; two checkpoints will be moved out of the city in 2026 and three will be reconstructed;
• on March 12, 2026, the city administration (hokimiyat) stated that paid entry to the center and an odd-even restriction are not being considered.

The publications we found contain no confirmation that a permanent hourly restriction for trucks has already been introduced.

What this means for renters
