2024年7月2日，新加坡交通部長徐芳達在國會書面答覆宏茂橋集選區議員顏添寶有關運輸大型和超大型物品的車輛道路安全的相關問題。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
顏添寶（宏茂橋集選區議員）先生詢問交通部長：(a) 陸路交通管理局是否對公共道路上運輸超大型和體積龐大物品的車輛有強制規定，以確保其他道路使用者的安全？(b) 過去三年中，有多少運輸大型、超長和笨重物品的車輛因交通違法或對公眾和道路安全構成危險而被罰款？(c) 交通部是否可以將某些道路，尤其是交通繁忙的道路，禁止這類車輛駛入？
徐芳達（交通部長）先生：在公共道路上運輸大型和超大型物品的車輛須遵守《公路交通法令》（Road Traffic Act）及其附屬法規。
首先，車輛和拖車上的所有貨物都必須妥善固定，以防止貨物掉落並對道路使用者造成危險。否則將構成犯罪。2021 年至 2023 年間，有80名司機因此類違法行為被抓。
第二，如果車輛所載貨物超出車輛後部300毫米以上，則必須在貨物突出的末端系一面乾淨的紅旗，以警告其他道路使用者。
第三，超過一定尺寸的超大車輛在公共道路上行駛也需要獲得陸路交通管理局 (LTA) 的許可。這些超大車輛必須遵守一些條件，例如只能在非尖峰時段或天黑後行駛，必須懸掛警告標誌，並在適用的情況下確保有輔警護送。
第四，除非獲得陸路交通管理局的許可，否則低拖車和移動式起重機等被禁車輛不得在快速路上行駛。
2021 年至 2023 年期間，陸路交通管理局共查獲約 3,300車輛，罪名包括未懸掛貨物顯示紅旗、未按規定取得超大型車輛通行證或違反超大型車輛通行許可證條件以及被禁車輛未按要求取得許可證而在快速路上行駛。
以下是英文質詢內容：
Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Transport (a) whether there are conditions mandated by LTA for vehicles transporting very large and bulky items on public roads to ensure the safety of other road users; (b) how many vehicles transporting large, long and bulky items have been fined for traffic offences or posing hazards to the public and road safety in the last three years; and (c) whether the Ministry can consider certain roads, especially those with heavy traffic, to be out of bounds for such vehicles.
Mr Chee Hong Tat: Vehicles transporting large and bulky items on public roads are subject to regulations under the Road Traffic Act and its subsidiary legislations.
First, all loads on vehicles and trailers are required to be properly secured, to prevent the contents from falling out and causing danger to road users. Failure to do so is an offence. Between 2021 and 2023, 80 motorists were caught for such offences.
Second, if the load carried by a vehicle goes beyond the rear of the vehicle by more than 300 millimetres, a clean red flag must be tied to the protruding end of the cargo as a visual warning for other road users.
Third, the movement of oversized vehicles exceeding certain dimensions also requires a permit from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to travel on public roads. These oversized vehicles are subject to conditions, such as travelling only during non-peak hours or after dark, having to display warning signs and, where applicable, ensuring there is Auxiliary Police escort.
