Georgia: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.
Kobi has one driving restriction on our books: the ყაზბეგის მუნიციპალიტეტის ტერიტორიაზე, ზოგიერთ ადმინისტრაციულ ერთეულში… (heavy vehicle ban). What is a heavy vehicle ban?

Kobi is a village on the Georgian side of the Jvari pass road in Kazbegi Municipality, and through the ski season its local roads are closed to goods vehicles from Friday morning to Monday morning.
The rule is decree №28 of the Kazbegi Municipality Sakrebulo, adopted at daba Stepantsminda on 25 December 2019, published on the register's website on 27 December 2019 and in force since 1 January 2020, made under article 16(2)(k), article 24(2) and article 61(2) of the Local Self-Government Code.
Article 1 establishes restrictions on local-importance roads in two named administrative units — Gudauri and Kobi — from the official opening of the winter season to its official closing, every Friday from 10:00 until Monday at 10:00, on the movement of goods vehicles of categories N1, N2 and N3 for the purpose of carrying out economic activity.
Article 2 is the part that names roads, and it names only Kobi's: the roads connecting ს-3 with the church of the village of Kobi, and ს-3 with the villages of the Truso gorge. This decree is the other half of a restriction this corpus already held one half of.
Dusheti Municipality's own decree №28, adopted one day later on 26 December 2019, closes the local roads on the Dusheti side of Gudauri; Gudauri straddles the two municipalities, and each one legislated for its own side within a day of the other.
The two decrees share the weekly window, the season qualifier and the "economic activity" test, and they differ on the one point a driver has to act on: this one writes the vehicle classes as N1, N2 and N3 — the goods-vehicle categories a driver can look up — where the Dusheti decree writes №1, №2 and №3, which match nothing. Two things this decree does not do.
It does not date the season: "official opening" and "official closing" are events it leaves to be announced elsewhere, so nothing here tells a driver whether today is inside it. And it names no penalty figure — article 3 sends a breach to the Administrative Offences Code of Georgia without naming an article of it. The scheme has no name of its own; the title above is the decree's.
