(On these Saturdays it is allowed to drive between 19:00 and 24:00 hrs!) There is an exception to the Sunday and public holiday driving ban for driving to/from the Port of Calais along the so-called Corridor de Ghyvelde. It exclusively includes the A16 from Calais to Belgium (De Panne border crossing) and return, but not A26 nor A27. This exception is not valid for the transport of hazardous goods. This exception is valid in both directions for vehicles traveling between the United Kingdom and Belgium, į.e. international traffic that actually use the ferry. A general driving ban exists on Saturdays as well the day before a public holiday from 22:00 till 22:00 hours on Sundays or the holiday itself for vehicles exceeding 7.5 t gross weight on all roads. This applies as well to Saturdays which are public holidays and on Sundays before a public holiday from 00:00 till 24:00 hrs.
