Road Transport Department director-general Datuk Seri Shaharuddin Khalid speaking to the press at the launch of JPJ’s enforcement control unit at the Plaza Tol Jelapang in Ipoh. — Picture by Farhan Najib IPOH, September 14 — The Road Transport Department cannot take action against cyclists who ride on highways, its director-general Datuk Seri Shaharuddin Khalid said today.“If we refer to the law, bicycles are not in the list of taxable vehicles that should be on the roads. Therefore, enforcement does not fall under JPJ,” he said at a press conference after launching the JPJ enforcement control centre in Jelapang here.
He said the most JPJ could do is advise cyclists against riding on highways as they endanger themselves and motorists. But he also said his department will coordinate with other government agencies, including the police, to handle the issue.
