Stepan Barna: it is Important not only to repair roads,but to use it correctly
makes No sense to spend money on road repairs if they destroyed the trucks. I think the control issues is not only the Executive authorities. Here must take part representatives of bodies of local self-government, and public organizations. It is a joint responsibility. This said Stepan Barna, Chairman of RSA, during a videoconference with heads of regional state administrations. "Our region is agrarian. And at harvest time through the movement of large vehicles that transport the crop, there is a significant destruction of roads. They leave behind the rut and nodules on the pavement. In addition excessively loaded vehicles create a traffic safety threat to other drivers and pedestrians. Experts estimate annual losses, which are road facilities due to the destruction of roads caused by the movement of heavy vehicles is more than UAH 2 billion. It is important not only to repair roads, but also the right to use them", - emphasized the head of the edge. He noted that with the aim of preserving the road surface in the warm season, from 1 June 2016, the region introduced the restriction on the movement of heavy vehicles with a total weight of over 24 tons in the hot days of the summer (at a temperature of 28 degrees or more Celsius) from 10.00 to 22.00. "Road load capacity which is significantly less than the established standard is 40 tons, drive trucks with full weight of 60-70 tons, which leads to irreversible and catastrophic destruction of pavement. Under the influence of air temperature over 28 degrees the road surface is heated to critical temperature indicators, resulting in the construction of road pavement under the influence of dynamic load abruptly loses its load-bearing capacity. Driving on a road a heavy-duty transport leaves its mark on him – deep ruts through which cracks, and eventually potholes," said head of road Service in Ternopil oblast Bohdan Yulik. The legislation provides for the responsibility for the implementation of transportation of goods in excess of permitted standards and a fee is charged for the toll roads, which is calculated by the applicable formula. Regulations stipulated the implementation of the carriage of goods with a total weight (with vehicle weight) – not more than 40 t. this norm does not differ from the rules stipulated by the European legislation. For container – 44 tons for vehicles according to the Ukravtodor and the relevant departments of the Ministry of interior routes - up to 46 t. in addition, the weighting parameters are monitored and the axle load: the load on a single axle 11 t, double – t 16, are – 22, etc .
