The road transport authority has prohibited all heavy vehicles from using the roads for four days in conjunction with Chinese New Year, which will be celebrated this Saturday which also coincides with the start of school holidays.
Road Transport Department (JPJ) said that the ban will take effect on February 8, 9, 12, and 13, and strict action will be taken against any company or individual who does not comply with the ban.
“This road ban is implemented two days before and two days after Chinese New Year to ensure smooth traffic for those who want to return to their hometowns to celebrate Chinese New Year, as well as school holidays,” it said.
JPJ will be monitoring the highways and will take serious actions if any of these large vehicles including buses violates the law.
