: The Road Transport Department is intensifying its efforts to monitor lorry and heavy vehicle movements, operating in quarry areas nationwide.
“JPJ is actively conducting monitoring and intelligence operations in quarry areas nationwide, to ensure that quarry operators and their vehicles are adhering to the regulations set forth under the Road Transport Act,” he said during a recent inspection of lorries at a quarry site in Labu, near here.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke has reportedly said that his ministry has directed JPJ to deploy its personnel and enforcement officers at quarry sites, to ensure that stringent action is taken against lorries exceeding weight limits. “We must consider that the roads here are narrow, and there are schools in the vicinity, making it hazardous for residents. Therefore, the movement of these lorries is restricted to the hours between 8 am and 5 pm. We do not want them on the road before 8 am and after 5 pm,” he said.
