According to the Da Nang Department of Transport, trucks frequently violate the weight limit signs on Thuan Phuoc Bridge. Many drivers intentionally ignore the signs and traffic controllers. Some trucks carrying goods exceeding 1 ton have fraudulently altered the weight on their inspection certificates to bypass authorities. This behavior poses a significant traffic safety risk.
To ensure safety on Thuan Phuoc Bridge and support tourism, the Da Nang People’s Committee issued Official Dispatch No. 6307/UBND-SGTVT, adjusting the weight limit to prohibit trucks weighing 1 ton or more from crossing Thuan Phuoc Bridge. Specifically, sign P.106a (“No trucks” – prohibiting vehicles with a carrying capacity of 1.5 tons or more) has been replaced by sign P.106b (“No trucks” – prohibiting vehicles with a carrying capacity of 1 ton or more). The Department of Transport has installed the new signs on the bridge approaches, effective from September 27th.
Adjusting the truck weight limit on Thuan Phuoc Bridge to 1 ton is a necessary measure to ensure the safety of the structure and road users. It is hoped that vehicle owners and drivers will strictly comply with this regulation, contributing to a safe and civilized traffic environment.
