The newly imposed condition regarding the suspension of mineral (sand, etc.) transportation during school days from 6:30 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. and from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. has been revised.

A public notice states that, under the revised condition, the decision was made in response to strong appeals from those in the construction industry. 

These appeals highlighted the severe impact of midday transport restrictions on construction operations, and the revision aims to ease the difficulties faced by industry professionals.

Accordingly, during the specified time periods, mineral transportation near schools and student crossing zones must be carried out under strict police supervision, with enforced speed limits on vehicles.

Therefore, starting yesterday (17), mineral transportation during school days within the time slots of 6:30 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. must comply with the revised conditions.

Observations have shown a rise in accidents involving school transport vehicles due to reckless driving during mineral transportation. As a result, the suspension of such transport during school hours, from 6:30 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., was in effect since September 04. (Newswire)
