Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona said that the government has gazetted a new Statutory Instrument that will see people who evade tollgate,being punished.
Motorists across the country have often used by pass roads to evade tollgates ,prejudicing ZINARA of potential revenue.
Any person who utilizes or allows the use of his or her private road as a by-pass shall be guilty of an offence and liable to pay to Zinara, for the benefit of the road fund, a fine not exceeding level 5.
“Any person who leaves or places on or over any road, at a tolling point, anything with the intention to cause or realizing that there is a real risk or possibility of obstructing such road or endangering persons using it shall be guilty of obstructing or endangering the free movement of traffic and liable to pay to Zinara for the benefit of the road fund, a fine not exceeding level 5.”read the SI.
Evading tollgates will now attract a $ 2 000 fine while those vending around tollgates will also be liable for that fine as the SI criminalizes vending around tolling points.
