The new regulation does not apply to all electric scooters: scooters weighing more than 25 kilograms require insurance if their design speed exceeds 14 km/h, and all scooters require insurance if their design speed exceeds 25 km/h, regardless of weight.

The Minister highlighted that this is the first expressway tunnel in Hungary to be realized purely through state investment. Following the trial operation of the Bécsi Hill tunnel, part of one of the largest domestic road construction projects of the year, and after the traffic authorization, soon 11 expressways will reach the national border. In 2010, there were only three.
