The Minister of Transport and Communications, Kamel El-Wazir, announced that the Ministry is working to address the issue of increased loads on roads through three main approaches. He confirmed that implementing the ministerial decision that limits loads to 13.5 tons, in line with global standards, has led to a shortage of suitable trucks due to the growing volume of trade and the capacity of current infrastructure. Therefore, the Ministry is actively working to increase the number of trucks in both the private and public sectors, and to allocate budgets for regulating loads, while also encouraging rail transport, which reduces costs and pollution. Additionally, the development of river transport systems and the implementation of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) on roads are underway, aiming to monitor loads, ensure driver safety, and facilitate payment. This is being executed in three phases: currently applying the system on 7 roads, expanding to 15 roads in the second phase, with the remaining roads to be covered later.
