Anti-overloading efforts intensified
May 23, 2011
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Manila North Tollways Corporation (MNTC) collaborated with the Department of Public Works and Highways to boost the implementation of Republic Act 8794 or the Anti-Overloading Law.
Officials of the MNTC warned errant cargo lines passing the expressways of sanctions as much as P1 million and five-year imprisonment. MNTC is the builder of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx).
According to the report of the Tollways Management Corporation (TMC), operator of the 84-kilometer expressway, cargo trucks were the usual violators of the said law.
“Overloaded vehicles are major road safety hazards. They endanger lives and properties and cause premature deterioration of roads. Alarmingly, LTO records point out that 85 percent of all trucks plying the Philippine road network are overloaded,” said MNTC in a statement.
DPWH said “continuing violation of the [overloading] law involves P20 billion worth of damage to the road networks yearly.”
With this, MNTC president Rodrigo Franco said the company intensified operations against overloading. He said the maximum allowable gross vehicle weight (GVW) of a six-wheeler truck is 18,660 kilograms and 41,000 kilograms for a 22-wheeler truck.
“Apprehended drivers of overloaded trucks and trailers would be issued a temporary operating permit (TOP) in exchange for their driver’s licenses and their vehicles’ license plates which may be redeemed at the Land Transportation Office main offices in Quezon City,” said MNTC.
The arrested driver would pay the appropriate fine equivalent to 25 percent of the Motor Vehicle User’s Charge. Moreover, three times of failure to comply with the loading limits is punishable with imprisonment of not less than three years but not exceeding five years and a fine of not less than P100,000 but not exceeding P1miilion.
Meanwhile, TMC also warned that violators of the Anti-Over speeding Law would not escape its 48 closed circuit television cameras (CCTV) strategically installed along the stretch of the toll way system.
Traffic Supervisor Cathy del Mundo said that TMC’s traffic control room catches 25 over speeding violators everyday using hidden speed guns. From January to October last year, TMC recorded 7,065 apprehensions related to over speeding.
