Driving at under 90kph in the right lane of highways may become an offence
21 Sept 02:54Key points summarised by AI
The Transport Ministry is considering a new regulation to penalize motorists driving under 90kph in the right lane of highways with more than four lanes, treating it similarly to speeding.
This proposed rule, alongside a potential increase in the highway speed limit to 120kph, aims to enhance road safety and reduce traffic congestion by minimizing sudden lane changes, which contribute to 30% of road accidents.
