The government is actively working on the creation of a new gazette notification containing a comprehensive set of rules and regulations for highway usage.
According to Minister of Transport and Highways Bandula Gunawardena, the new gazette, expected to be published within two weeks, will include provisions such as a minimum speed limit aimed at enhancing the safety of individuals traveling on highways.
