Motorcycles prohibited in Kayan, ban totals 6 townships in Yangon Region

The permission to ride a motorcycle will be revoked in Kayan Township starting from 26 November and action will be taken against those who do not follow the rules, stated the township administration body. It is reported that the prohibition is made as terrorists use motorcycles to attack civilians, civil servants and administrators.
Motorcycle riding has been banned in five townships of the Yangon Region – Thanlyin Township, Dala Township, Hlinethaya Township, Twantay Township and Kawhmu Township – in June. In some townships, E-bikes are also banned besides motorcycles.
Leader of the Information Team of the State Administration Council Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun said at the 16th press conference of the State Administration Council that the right to ride motorcycles is banned in some areas for security reasons. — TWA/GNLM
