A slew of new measures and policies are to take effect today, including heavier penalties on vehicles that park near bus stops and bans on microbeads and partially hydrogenated oils.
Owners of motorbikes who park within 10m of a bus stop would be fined NT$900 to NT$1,200, up from the current NT$600 to NT$900, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications said.
Owners of small vehicles would be fined NT$1,200, instead of between NT$900 and NT$1,200, it added.
In addition, the time limit for removing stalled vehicles on freeway or highway shoulders would be reduced from two hours to one hour, with violators subject to a fine of NT$600 to NT$1,200. [FULL STORY]
