Heavy vehicles to be prohibited using AARTO in eMalahleni
Emalahleni Local Municipality is putting brakes on heavy vehicles on residential roads in the city.
It is no secret that the constant barrage of heavy vehicles using the residential roads to cut through eMalahleni to avoid the toll gates, has been the main cause of the terrible condition of the roads, but this may finally be coming to an end.
After years of complaints from the public, sitting behind heavy vehicles blocking traffic, and small cars practically disappearing into potholes caused by these vehicles that are not meant to be using roads not designed for them, the municipality finally seems to be intending to implement measures to halt this problem.
The intentions are for weighbridges to be installed and signs prohibiting heavy vehicles from travelling through the city will be erected, thus allowing fines to be issued and heavy vehicles breaking the law to be impounded as per AARTO regulations.
The municipality was contacted for comment, but no response had been received at the time of going to print.
