Road Security
Level of Road Security: Bad
In the region of the Sada'a conflict insecurity is rife, transporters are taking lengthy diversions through mountainous areas following dirt tacks in order to avoid the conflict.
In other regions which tribal tensions are high trucks can be hijacked for ransom or to pressurize tribal/political negotiations.
Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits
Weighbridges do exist in strategic locations throughout Yemen; however they seam to be rarely utilized – to the extent that many transporters were unaware of their locations or the legal axle limitations.
There are two weighbridges functioning in Hodeidah; one inside and one outside of the port, the weighbridge in Aden is reportedly not functioning.
