Penegakan Hukum terhadap Pelanggaran Kendaraan Angkutan Barang di Kota Pekanbaru Berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 22 Tahun 2009 tentang Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan

Abstract

Based on Article 169 paragraph (1) of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, it is stipulated that drivers and / or public goods transportation companies must comply with provisions regarding loading procedures, carrying capacity, vehicle dimensions, and road class. This research aims to explain law enforcement against violations of goods transportation vehicles in Pekanbaru City based on Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. The method used in this research is socio-legal research. The results showed that law enforcement against violations of goods transportation vehicles in Pekanbaru City hasn’t been optimal. Barriers from the side of law enforcement officials are the lack of cross-sectoral coordination between the Pekanbaru City Transportation Service and Pekanbaru Police Traffic, most of the freight vehicles passing through Pekanbaru City from night to early morning, and the lightness of criminal sanctions as regulated in Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. Efforts that can be made by the Pekanbaru City Transportation Service are to collaborate with the Pekanbaru Traffic Police, increase supervision of goods transportation vehicles, and propose that Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation be revised.
