Hungary – Traffic order during the upcoming World Athletics Championships and the National Holiday
The most significant sports event in Hungary's history to date, the World Athletics Championships will be held in Budapest between 19-27 August, 2023. The celebration of the founding of Hungary also falls at the time of the sports event. During the two occasions a total of almost two hundred road traffic restrictions will come into effect on the city's roads. Traffic will be coordinated by the Budapest Police Headquarters (BRFK).
The venue of the sports event will be the National Athletic Center in the southern part of the city, besides the street running competitions will be held in downtown Budapest. 2.000 athletes from 200 countries, 8.000 sports diplomats, and hundreds of thousands of guests and sports fans are expected to attend this worldwide event. Apart from that, around 1 million participants are expected for the fireworks display on the 20th of August.

The restrictions will last until 15 of September, by which time traffic will return to normal.
Truck traffic in South Pest and Csepel Island:
The National Athletic Center is located to the south of the bridge Rákóczi, between Soroksári street and the Danube (map), where for many years, heavy goods vehicle traffic has had purposeful, permit-free traffic in practice. Mostly through the nearby industrial areas and due to the service of logistics parks and facilities on the northern tip of Csepel Island. As this part of the city will be particularly affected during the competition, truckers in the southern part of the capital should also expect bans and traffic disruptions, especially in the vicinity of Soroksári street, Weiss Manfréd street, Jenő Kvassay Street, Közvághóíd, Rákóczi-bridge.
During the weekend of the national holiday, the ban for trucks will be following:
19 August, 2023 (Saturday) from 3:00 PM - to 20 August (Sunday) until 10:00 PM (the ban applies to all trucks with a maximum permissible total weight of 7.5 t).

For ten days, a parking ban will come into effect on 21 August 2023 from 00:00 until 31 of August, 24:00 at the bus parking place of square Dózsa György (under Buda Castle). It will also be extremely difficult for buses to drive in the city center, Városliget and Hősök tere will be the scene of continuous restrictions too.
