| description |
The prevalence of heavy goods vehicle
overloading across Sub-Saharan Africa has been a matter of
concern for some time. The overloading leads to rapid
deterioration of road pavements and imposes a heavy cost on
some of poorest countries in the world. The countries are
forced to spend ever increasing amounts on road
rehabilitation. Consequently, unless the problem is tackled
effectively, there will be no sustainable improvement in the
condition of the road network across much of the region. The
Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA),
Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the
Southern Africa Office of the United Nations Economic
Commission for Africa (UNECA) working under the Regional
Economic Communities Transport Coordinating Committee
established under the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) Transport
Policy Program (SSATP) have identified vehicle overload
control as one of the priority areas to be addressed in
their 2006-07 work program. The high magnitude of what
essentially are avoidable costs due to overloading
underscores the importance of dealing effectively with a
number of perceived challenges in overload control. In this
regard, this paper identifies and addresses various lessons
learnt, key issues and challenges, emerging good practice
and technical options for dealing with various aspects of
overload control in the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA)
region as a basis for improving the efficiency of transport
operations and facilitating trade along regional transport corridors. |
