SINGAPORE – Over 140 errant heavy vehicles were booked by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in an islandwide enforcement operation in November.<\/p>\n
LTA said in a Facebook post on Nov 25 that these vehicles were booked for various offences, including overloading and travelling on expressways without the required permits.<\/p>\n
About 60 oversized and excluded vehicles were caught travelling on expressways without a valid permit. <\/p>\n
Such vehicles can obstruct traffic and damage road structures due to their size and weight, LTA added.<\/p>\n
Another 85 overloaded vehicles were found carrying loads beyond what is allowed. <\/p>\n
Overloaded vehicles can pose serious risks like goods spilling onto the road or compromising the vehicle\u2019s handling.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese actions endanger others and damage our roads, and we will continue to enforce against errant motorists to ensure safety and convenience for all road users,\u201d LTA said.<\/p>\n
Anyone found guilty of these offences can be jailed for up to three months, fined up to $1,000, or both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
