Size and weight control on Ukrainian roads can be expanded to include passenger transport, Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krykliy said during a meeting “Safety Matters” on Tuesday, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reports.
“For all, the weighing systems in motion have always been especially for trucks. At the same time, it is clear that there are also irregularities in transportation out of the norm in passenger transportation. Since when more people get on a minibus or bus than the norm allowed by the technical parameters, these are the same risks. It is about the danger to passengers and road users. Therefore, the potential for size and weight control can be expanded from trucks to passenger transportation. And all this should work in a complex, single system,” he said.
According to the minister, this issue will still be finalized by the ministry together with the deputy corps.
In addition, Krykliy added that by the end of 2020, 50 more WIM weighing systems will be installed on national roads, and another 100 systems – by the end of 2021.
