Is there a requirement from the City of Hobart or the State Government on large vehicles to avoid travel in urban zones during peak traffic times and how common is this traffic management tool in other States and in particular capital cities?

A response was provided at the City Infrastructure Committee meeting of 25 November 2020, however did not include a comparative studies of other states and capital cities, therefore could this data be ascertained?
