Authorities in Nebbi Municipality have launched a joint operation with police to remove heavy trucks and taxis parked along the Nebbi-Pakwach Highway and major streets in the central business district.

The operation, led by Mayor Jackline Opar, began on Thursday and continued into Saturday. More than 30 heavy vehicles, including fuel tankers transporting goods to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), have reportedly been parking along the roads, causing traffic congestion, safety risks and damage to road infrastructure.

Mayor Opar said temporary parking facilities have been established as construction of the Shs16.5 billion USMID hybrid taxi park and bus terminal continues.

Authorities have also issued notices banning truck parking and loading along key commercial streets.

Should other Cities adopt similar enforcement operations to clear roads of improperly parked trucks and taxis and ease traffic congestion?​
