🧠 Problem Title: Overloaded Trucks Creating Road Safety Risks and Infrastructure Damage
📝 Problem Description

Trucks are widely used for transportation of goods across highways and city roads. However, it is often observed that some trucks carry loads beyond their intended capacity., Overloaded trucks may become difficult to control during braking, turning, or driving on uneven roads. Excess weight can also increase stress on tires, suspension systems, and braking mechanisms. In certain situations, overloaded vehicles may move slowly, tilt unevenly, or occupy extra road space., I have observed trucks carrying excessive loads, sometimes extending beyond the vehicle body or stacked at unsafe heights. Such loading conditions can affect vehicle stability and increase the risk of accidents., Apart from safety concerns, overloaded trucks may also contribute to faster road damage, including cracks and potholes, due to the additional pressure placed on road surfaces., This problem highlights the gap between transportation practices and road safety management. Proper load regulation and monitoring are important for safer transportation and better infrastructure protection.
