A night driving ban is a time-limited official closure of a road, ramp or traffic relation during nighttime hours, usually to carry out construction or maintenance work when traffic volumes are lower. Unlike a general, permanently applicable night driving ban for certain vehicle categories, a construction-related nighttime closure affects only the announced nights and directions; outside those times and directions the route remains open. For dispatchers, the specific traffic relation and time window affected are decisive, since signed diversions can add extra driving time.
