Are three-wheeled vehicles banned from circulation?

Tricycles are known as a convenient and much cheaper means of transporting goods than trucks. After many years of operation, tricycles have caused a lot of controversy surrounding how this vehicle affects traffic.

Carrying large, bulky or too many items beyond the vehicle's cargo capacity has a significant impact on other road users.

“ Road motor vehicles (hereinafter referred to as motor vehicles) include automobiles; tractors; trailers or semi-trailers pulled by automobiles or tractors; two-wheeled motorcycles; three-wheeled motorcycles; motorbikes (including electric motorbikes) and similar vehicles.”

Accordingly, three-wheeled vehicles are classified as three-wheeled motorcycles and are classified as road motor vehicles.
