Rwanda installing weighbridges

With roads in the country having a short life span, the government has started a strict enforcement of axle load regulations by installing weighbridges at all Rwandan entry points. The bridges will help implement the 10 tonne axle load limit. Transporters will have to use smaller trucks, which some fear will increase transportation costs because the trucks will carry a smaller load.
