The ban starts two days before Chinese New Year, on January 20 and 21, and two days after, on January 24 and 25. “This prohibition is intended to avoid the risk of road accidents due to mixed traffic flow between heavy vehicles and light vehicles on the road, highways, apart from avoiding traffic jams,” he said.Loke said the Road Transport Department will be stricter in enforcement this year.
