Volodymyr Omelyan, the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine stated the above during the press conference, which took place on July 27, 2018, at the Ministry of Infrastructure.

There is also a confirmation of a grant from the European Union for the acquisition of 100 such weigh-in-motion complexes in order to monitor main routes of the country", - Oleksandra Klitina said.   

According to Oleksandra Klitina, for the full implementation of the automatic weight control reform it is necessary legislative changes that have already been developed jointly with the Ministry and registered in the Parliament:

• The Draft Law on Amendments to the Budget Code of Ukraine on Revenues from the Implementation of Dimension and Weight Control No. 7319 of November 17, 2017 amends the Budget Code of Ukraine

According to Oleksandra Klitina, the draft laws provide:

  • the ability to automatically fix the violations of weight requirements by commercial carriers;
  • allow the authorized central executive body that ensures the implementation of the state policy on transport safety and security, to charge the fare for commercial motor vehicles whose dimensions or weight exceed the norms established by law;
  • the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is authorized to develop procedures for fixing violations and imposing fines on violators in automatic mode;

  • direction of funds from the payment for the passage of commercial vehicles on the roads of Ukraine exceeding the norms of weight control, and fines for violation of this dimensions and weight limitations directly to the State Road Fund of Ukraine

Now we plan to test the system - to make sure of its efficiency, and put the pilot in the Kyiv region, so that MP’s and institutions connected with the implementation of the reform had the opportunity to come and visually test how the system works. Six sites will allow to fully controlling the movement of freight transport in Kyiv. The driver will not be able to bypass the systems - as a result, we will receive full data on overloaded traffic, which will directly contribute to the implementation of the reform", - the head of the Reform Support Team added.
