Overview
The Special Load Permit Portal is a specialized digital platform developed by Tanzania’s Ministry of Works to manage authorizations for exceptional road transport operations. This system processes permit applications for vehicles exceeding standard weight limits, dimensional restrictions, or carrying abnormal loads that require special traffic arrangements. The portal assesses engineering safety, calculates appropriate fees based on load characteristics, issues electronic permits, and plans transport routes. It enhances road infrastructure protection by ensuring that oversized or overweight transports are properly regulated, appropriately routed, and adequately charged for the additional infrastructure stress they create on Tanzania’s road network.
