The Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) has introduced new regulations regarding the installation of motorcycle number plates. According to this new decision, a total of five conditions must now be fulfilled when fitting number plates. The information was confirmed through official sources.
Key Aspects of the New Decision
According to reports from Bangladesh Pratidin and Jugantor, this new decision regarding motorcycle number plates was published on November 11. Under the new rules, strict directives have been issued covering five areas: the size of the number plate, its colour, font, placement position, and the use of standard materials.As per the new instructions, the number plate must be of a specified dimension and must use the colour and font mentioned in the Road Transport Act. Additionally, the plate must be installed in the correct position at both the front and rear of the motorcycle, and must be made of durable, weather-resistant materials.
Risks of Non-Compliance
Failure to adhere to these new conditions could lead to legal complications for motorcycle owners. Specifically, if the font or colour of the number plate does not meet the prescribed standards, it will be easily identifiable, leaving room for legal action if necessary.Experts believe that once these new rules are implemented, the process of identifying motorcycles on the road will become easier and more transparent. They also expressed hope that the tendency to use fake or illegible number plates will decrease.
