Restricting heavy-duty vehicles a good move

THE media reported that heavy-duty vehicles would be restricted on the East Bank during the rush hour, but the traffic chief indicated that there will be no charge for those in breach.:

It is good that no charge will be laid against those in breach, but there should be a charge for a second-time breach.
Do not lift this restriction since there is only one major road leading to our airport.
It is very scary what these big vehicle drivers do on that tiny road.You have to move out of their way or they move you.
There must be restrictions on all roads in Guyana, especially the newly built ones, because big business people do not care what they break up or damage in order to get their goods to its destination, then turn around and blame government for not doing anything.
Heavy loads on vehicles are damaging and breaking up roads faster than they could be repaired.
These business people can hire small trucks to make several trips with their goods.
Government must ensure that these business people do no jack up their prices for goods delivered this way.
Or let the business people fix all roads immediately once they break them.
Then again, they will pass on the cost to consumers. A no-win situation for government.
