BRTA Extends Manual Number Plate Deadline
- BRTA extends deadline for attaching front manual number plates on motorcycles
- Initial deadline of November 15 extended to December 31
- Specific dimensions and conditions set for two types of motorcycles
The Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) has extended the deadline for attaching manual number plates to the front of motorcycles. Although an initial deadline was set until November 15, it has now been extended to December 31.
On Wednesday (November 11), the matter was announced through a public notice regarding the extension of the deadline for attaching front manual number plates, posted on BRTA’s official Facebook page.
The notice states that under the "Road Transport Act, 2018" and "Road Transport Rules, 2022," displaying registration numbers on both the rear and front of motorcycles is mandatory. In light of this, the agency has requested motorcycle owners to install manual front number plates under their own arrangement according to specified conditions.
The notice specifies exact dimensions and rules for two types of motorcycles: for scooters, the manual number plate must be 200 millimeters in length and 100 millimeters in width, with letter and number font heights of at least 20 millimeters. For motorcycles other than scooters, the length must be 285 millimeters and width 50 millimeters, with font heights also being at least 20 millimeters.
According to other mandatory BRTA conditions, the manual number plate must be made of stainless steel or aluminum, featuring black Bengali letters and numbers on a white background. No embellishments or designs are permitted on the plate, and for non-scooter motorcycles, the registration mark must be displayed in a single horizontal line (e.g., Dhaka Metro-L-11-1229). //DBTech/ANSCN/RESME/FOPTE//
