Weigh-in-motion stations in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain will be operational from next Saturday to monitor trucks and ensure they meet the acceptable weight limits.
The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) of the Department of Municipalities and Transport in Abu Dhabi announced on Monday that starting from March 14, it will operate the weigh-in-motion stations located in Mussafah - Truck Road (E30), and Khatm Al Shiklaharea in Al Ain City - Truck Road (E40).
These stations will be operated in cooperation with the 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 the ITC's strategy to instil a developed infrastructure of the roads sector to ensure its sustainability and safety. The ITC urged heavy vehicle drivers and operational companies in the field to adhere to the rules and regulations related to heavy trucks monitoring. The centre also advised drivers to ensure the safety of their trucks by checking them in the stations.
