Msedes Weighbridge Mystery

[stanmwa]

I have noted that all msedes use the outer most left lane at Mlolongo. So a complicated system is able to tell the registration numbers of all msedes. Then there are some allowed to proceed and not enter the actual weighbridge premises. Others get a red light and have to go in. I have always wondered how they determine which msedes does what.


Kindly, mr @Meria Mata would you kindly shed some light.

All containers leaving the port are already weighed. This info is passed along to weighbridges.
Rules dictate that all transit containers(destined for other countries) are weighed at the first weighbridge encountered upon leaving the port and the last weighbridge before leaving the country.
Containers destined to other destinations in the country are the ones that have to go thru all weighbridges to prevent tampering with the recorded weights as recorded from the port and the first weighbridge upon exiting the port.
So what you could be witnessing are transit trucks being let thru Mlolongo and other weighbridges because they will be weighed at Busia just before exit.

This allows for faster transit times for all loads thru the country.

I remembered seeing all trucks getting to that weighbridge lane at Gilgil. Guess that that particular one is treated differently.
