Globally, heavy vehicle overloading has become a real threat to lives and the quality of community transport infrastructure (CTI or roads). This qualitative case study research was undertaken in Tanzania to investigate and develop a deeper understanding of CTI stakeholder perceptions on current CTI protection/intervention measures. Based on key informant interview responses, six themes were developed: 1) socioeconomic development, 2) civic education and responsible leadership, 3) road quality and budget, 4) law enforcement, and 5) use of high technology. These findings indicated that CTI stakeholder perceptions in Tanzania matched the current literature. Weighbridges and police blocks are the most common CTI protection measures against vehicle overloading; yet, their efficiency and effectiveness is highly affected by corruption and delays. It is strongly recommended that governments and other stakeholders must immediately adapt the use of new technology: The CTI Device for automatic regulation of vehicle overloading as proposed by Mushobozi and Arafath (2023).
Keywords:
