PUBLISHED ONOctober 30, 2026 9:15 AMBYSean LerA total of 250 goods vehicles were caught by Land Transport Authority (LTA) enforcement officers in two islandwide enforcement operations conducted in October.
The regulator said in a social media post on Friday (Oct 30) that the two operations were each conducted over a three-day period, with offences such as overloading and oversized vehicles, and non-compliant lorries.
Of these, over 30 vehicles were caught for overloading, which pose risks to road users if goods spill or fall onto the road. Such actions also compromises the safe handling of the vehicles, LTA stated.
Meanwhile, more than 40 vehicles, including concrete mixers and low trailers, were caught for being oversized or travelling on expressways without a valid permit.
Another 160 vehicles were caught for failing to fill front passenger seats, lacking proper rain covers or missing the maximum passenger capacity label.
Those found with overloaded or oversized vehicles could be jailed for up to three months, fined up to $1,000, or both.
The offence of failing to fill front passenger seats, lacking proper rain covers, and missing maximum capacity labels carry a penalty of up to three months' jail, fine of up to $5,000, or both.
"We will continue our enforcement efforts to keep our roads safe for all," LTA said.
