250 goods vehicles caught during 2 islandwide LTA enforcement operations in October

A total of 250 goods vehicles were caught by Land Transport Authority (LTA) enforcement officers in two islandwide enforcement operations conducted in October.

The regulator said in a social media post on Friday (Oct 30) that the two operations were each conducted over a three-day period, with offences such as overloading and oversized vehicles, and non-compliant lorries.

Of these, over 30 vehicles were caught for overloading, which pose risks to road users if goods spill or fall onto the road. Such actions also compromises the safe handling of the vehicles, LTA stated.

Meanwhile, more than 40 vehicles, including concrete mixers and low trailers, were caught for being oversized or travelling on expressways without a valid permit.

Another 160 vehicles were caught for failing to fill front passenger seats, lacking proper rain covers or missing the maximum passenger capacity label.

Those found with overloaded or oversized vehicles could be jailed for up to three months, fined up to $1,000, or both.

The offence of failing to fill front passenger seats, lacking proper rain covers, and missing maximum capacity labels carry a penalty of up to three months' jail, fine of up to $5,000, or both.

"We will continue our enforcement efforts to keep our roads safe for all," LTA said.

10 月份，陆路交通管理局 (LTA) 执法人员在全岛范围内开展的两次执法行动中，共查获 250 辆货车。

监管机构在周五（10 月 30 日）的社交媒体帖子中表示，这两项行动均持续了三天，查获的违法行为包括超载、超尺寸车辆和不合规的货车。

其中，超过30辆车因超载被查处，货物一旦洒落或掉落在路面上，将对道路使用者构成危险。陆路交通管理局指出，此类行为也影响了车辆的安全操控。

与此同时，超过 40 辆车，包括混凝土搅拌车和低矮拖车，因超限或在高速公路上行驶而未持有有效许可证而被查处。

另有 160 辆车因未坐满前排乘客、缺少合适的雨罩或缺少最大乘客容量标签而被查处。

驾驶超载或超尺寸车辆者，可被判处最高三个月监禁、最高 1000 美元罚款，或两者并罚。

未填满前排乘客座位、缺少合适的雨罩、缺少最大载客量标签等违法行为，最高可判处三个月监禁、5000 美元罚款，或两者并罚。

“我们将继续加大执法力度，确保道路安全，造福所有人，”陆路交通管理局表示。
