87 traffic summonses issued during three-day crackdown on errant heavy vehicle drivers

These were one of 24 big vehicles that were discovered during the three-day operation for failing to display the labels. The police described the number of large vehicles that were found working without these labels as “particular concern.” &nbsp,

According to the law, heavy vehicles with a maximum load laden weight of 12 tonnes may be equipped with velocity limiters, which are normally connected to the accelerator system. &nbsp,

The police claimed that they significantly lower the risk of speed-related accidents because they restrict a large car maximum speed.

They help to reduce fatalities and injuries, they added, along with other methods, such as protection and changes to the system.

Starting in January 2024, the traffic police have mandated that vehicles with a optimum laden mass of between 3, 501 kg and 12, 000 kg&nbsp be installed with rate limiters. These prevent vehicles from traveling at speeds exceeding 60 kilometers per hour. &nbsp,

Vehicles were given two to three years to meet the speed limit need, depending on whether they were registered before or after 2018.

Those registered before Jan 1, 2018 that weigh between 5, 001kg and 12, 000kg have until Jan 1, 2026 to deploy rate limiters, while those between 3, 501kg and 5, 000kg have until Jul 1, 2026 to do so.

If a vehicle falls under the heavier type on or after Jan 1, 2018, newer vehicles must do so by Jan 1, 2027, while those in the lighter group must fit the rate limiters by Jul 1, 2027.

The type of speed limit that is installed, the set acceleration in kilometers, the mark number, and the vehicle registration number should be included on the speed limiter labels. &nbsp,
