* Cape Town - A strategy targets trucking industry
-- The City has proposed a strategy focused on road safety through ensuring that freight operators comply with regulations... Some of the proposals will focus on transportation of dangerous goods, overloading, congestion and road safety, and the proposed strategy’s public participation process will conclude on 23 March... Mayoral committee member for transport Brett Herron said the draft strategy proposed certain interventions to reduce the impact of road-based freight on the urban environment... Herron said there would be no restriction imposed on freight transport, but noted the strategy acknowledged the fact that overloading and other freight-related transgressions of regulations were not adequately controlled; penalties for transgressions were low... Herron said other road users would benefit because road-based freight would be managed in such a way that their access and mobility needs are not compromised...
