The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) of the Department of Municipalities and Transport in Abu Dhabi announced that starting from March 14, it will operate the weigh-in-motion stations located in Mussafah - Truck Road (E30), and Khatm Al Shiklah area in Al Ain City - Truck Road (E40).
These stations will be operated in cooperation with ITC’s stakeholders in order to monitor the weights and sizes of heavy vehicles and ensure that they meet the legal limits specifications, in addition to conduct a technical evaluation of the vehicles.
The operation of the new stations comes in line with ITC’s strategy to instil a developed infrastructure of the roads sector to ensure its sustainability and safety. It also preserves the roads infrastructure assets in a time the freight demand is increasing and consequently requires an increase in the number of trucks.
ITC urged heavy vehicle drivers and operational companies in the field to adhere to the rules and regulations related to heavy trucks monitoring. ITC also advised drivers ensure the safety of their trucks by checking them in the stations. - TradeArabia News Service
