• Orosháza bypass
• Road 47
• Békéscsaba bypass
• Road 47
• Highway M35
• Debrecen E576 bypass 
• Hajdúhadház.

The Hungarian Defence Forces urge the public to approach military vehicles with due caution and in compliance with traffic rules. In fact, the size and speed, as well as the length and progress of convoys, differ from the usual traffic patterns. The truth is that no civilian vehicles should drive between the vehicles in the closed convoy. The civilian vehicles will receive assistance at the beginning and end of the convoy, reports 24.hu.

The Ministry of Defence is putting emphasis on the following: “We ask everyone to drive in the vicinity of military cargo in all cases, taking into account the current road, weather and visibility conditions.”

They added that “in compliance with the relevant legislation”, they will endeavour to cause the least possible disturbance to the peace of citizens between 17 and 19 June.
