Abstract: Abstract The chapter presents a concept of introducing time restrictions for heavy goods vehicles on selected road sections in Gdansk’s city centre. To assess the effectiveness of these regulations, available traffic data were used to understand their effect on the level of service. The results show that if HGV traffic was to be banned during specific hours and provided with alternative routes, the risk of difficult traffic conditions will be reduced. Forecasted traffic increase until 2030 was also considered. The solutions were put in the broader context of urban freight transport management with reference to the need for reliable data and cooperation with the private sector.
