Let’s summarize a significant fact that impacts traffic in Tshikapa: the ban on trailer vehicles between 7:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. This decision, taken by the provincial Minister of Transport, Kanyinda Kaboya Ben Dubois, aims to improve the safety and fluidity of road traffic in the city.
Indeed, according to the press release relayed by Fatshimetrie, rush hours between 7:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. are particularly conducive to road congestion and the risk of accidents. By banning the circulation of trailer vehicles during these time slots, local authorities are seeking to reduce incidents and ensure better mobility for all road users.
This measure is part of compliance with the highway code and safety regulations in force. By also prohibiting the parking of motor vehicles on pedestrian, cyclist and other risk areas, Minister Kanyinda Kaboya Ben Dubois highlights the need to preserve the flow of traffic and the safety of pedestrians.
Furthermore, the 48-hour period granted to vehicles parked in front of private individuals for unloading operations underlines the importance of quickly freeing up public space to avoid unnecessary congestion.
In conclusion, this decision to restrict the circulation of trailer vehicles at certain times and to limit abusive parking helps to promote safer and smoother mobility in Tshikapa. It is now up to drivers and road users to respect these new rules to ensure a more harmonious and secure road environment for all.
