Any excess load should be offloaded and the excess tonnage charged according to the extra weight and the distance travelled with the excess load. The officials said two types of weighing scales will be used, the high speed weigh-in-motion scales and the usual static scales. “We will be weighing trucks moving at 50km/hr,” Ngatia said. Kenya National Highways Authority manager in charge of axle load Muita Ngatia said four scales will be used at the weighbridge to ensure efficiency. We can now say we are 99 per cent compliant with axle load issues,” Ngatia said.
