DUBAI // All semi-trailers must be registered and have number plates from April 15, the Roads and Transport Authority has announced.
Registration is mandatory for semi-trailers whether owned by individuals, firms or public entities. “The RTA will start an inspection campaign in April to report violations against illegal semi-trailers,” said Ahmed Bahrozyan, chief executive of the RTA’s licensing agency in a statement. “We have set plans for completing registration and licensing of semi-trailers to ensure their roadworthiness and compatibility with traffic safety stipulations.”
Some 118 semi-trailers have been licensed since last September. Mr Bahrozyan urged companies and individuals to test and license semi-trailers at service centres at Tamam Al Ghandi, Tasjeel Jebel Ali, Tasjeel Al Warsan and Al Shirawi Enterprises. “This would ensure that such machinery is roadworthy and have no accidents or offences reported against them,” he said.
