Phnom Penh, Cambodia: Police have been ordered to crack down on overloaded vehicles crossing the Japanese Bridge.

They did this for people's safety, of course. And surprisingly some people have said police officers would allow a vehicle that was in violation across the bridge anyways with a small cash donation of 1,000 Riel to the Fraternal Order of Police.

This crackdown applies to cars, trucks and motorbikes.

The Ministry of Public Works and Transport on Thursday reported that it had inspected over 1.5 million vehicles between December last year and this month, in a continued effort to address the Kingdom’s road safety concerns.

“No matter how much money the government spends on building quality roads, they will degrade if we do not care for them and allow transportation companies to overload vehicles with goods,” said Minister Sun Chanthol.

The ministry’s 2019 wrap-up and 2020 action plan report showed that of the 1,578,031 vehicles inspected, 155,022 were found to be illegally modified; 16,771 were sub-standard, and 406 lorries had had extensions cut off due to excess carriage during the 11 months.

The offences garnered 614 million riel ($150,000) in fines.
