Thecuy.com, Bekasi – Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) affirmed that the regulation of over dimension over load (ODOL) vehicles is an essential component of traffic management currently overseen by the government. According to him, road user safety is the primary motivation behind the push for the Zero ODOL policy.
AHY made the remarks during an inspection of the Bulak Kapal flyover construction site in Bekasi on Friday. He noted that vehicles with excessive load and dimensions can increase the risk of accidents and speed up road deterioration.
“Excessive vehicles inevitably cause accidents; safety remains the top priority—nothing supersedes it. Moreover, they damage the roads,” AHY said.
In addition to safety concerns, AHY considered that ODOL vehicles also impact the lifespan of roads. He stated that infrastructure intended to be maintained through preservation programs could deteriorate quickly if vehicles with excessive loads continue to operate.
The government, AHY added, is not just preparing to enforce ODOL regulation, but also continues to implement infrastructure preservation and maintenance. Simultaneously, road and bridge construction proceeds to enhance regional competitiveness and public comfort.
Previously, AHY had set a goal for the Zero ODOL policy to become effective on 1 January 2027. Nevertheless, its rollout encounters several obstacles, including possible rises in distribution costs for companies, the well‑being of freight drivers, and illegal extortions in the freight industry.
To tackle these issues, the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development has developed nine national action plans. The initiatives comprise merging freight data with electronic platforms, overseeing documentation and enforcement, defining provincial and district/city road class rules, boosting logistics distribution competitiveness, and offering incentives and penalties to freight operators and industrial zone managers who comply with or breach the Zero ODOL policy.
Additional plans include impact assessment studies, reinforcing labor considerations by setting fair work standards for drivers, deregulating and harmonizing regulations, and creating a working committee aimed at speeding up the expansion of national connectivity as a multi‑sector implementation unit.
