The Ministry of Works and Transport has introduced tougher measures targeting owners and drivers of heavy trucks, particularly Sino Trucks, as part of efforts to reduce road accidents.
During a meeting with Sino Truck drivers at the ministry offices in Kyambogo, officials announced that all drivers of the heavy vehicles will undergo fresh inspections and assessments in a programme expected to run for two months.
The ministry also warned drivers against overloading their trucks beyond the legally permitted weight limits.
Drivers were issued identification plates containing their details to help authorities monitor their operations and enforce compliance.
They were further cautioned against dumping or spilling sand and other materials onto roads, which officials said can endanger other road users and contribute to accidents.
The measures form part of the ministry’s wider road safety campaign aimed at improving discipline among heavy vehicle operators and reducing crashes on Ugandan roads.
