DBKL Urban Transportation Department director Muhammad Azri Abdul Aziz said time-based restrictions on heavy vehicles were enforced through signage along specific routes. “Roads with a 30km/h speed limit are typically located near schools for safety, but there is no blanket ban preventing heavy vehicles from using them outside restricted hours,” he said.
