A new bill has been proposed in the Nigerian Senate seeking to prohibit the daytime movement of heavy-duty vehicles across the country. The legislation aims to reduce traffic congestion, enhance road safety, and curb accidents involving large trucks and trailers.
Under the proposed law:
- Individual violators will face a fine of ₦500,000.
- Corporate offenders will be fined ₦5,000,000.
- Offending vehicles may be seized for up to 30 days.
The bill comes in response to rising road accidents and gridlocks caused by heavy-duty vehicles operating during peak hours. If passed, the regulation will enforce strict movement schedules to improve traffic flow and enhance public safety on Nigerian roads.
