Yep - Paris for example, they're severely restricted rather, i.e. not allowed in rush hours.
For some reason, HGV over 18 tonnes are banned in Central London overnight only, where there's a lots less cyclists riding at that time of night.
It would have been much more beneficial if they were to be banned in rush hours rather where I think (may need citation on this) the majority of collision happened, like CS7 became a dangerous route due to all kind of traffic being shoehorned into one tiny road during rush hour, especially when my g/f witnesses a HGV being ridden recklessly narrowingly missing cyclists until it collided with one in Stockwell (non-fatal thankfully).
edit - more information.
