Approved routes to be taken
Subregulation 1
A holder of a weapon transport licence or noxious substance transport licence to convey any weapon consignment or noxious substance consignment by water or road on a Singapore journey must take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that the vessel or vehicle used in conveying the weapon consignment or noxious substance consignment travels according to a route approved under paragraph (2) by a Licensing Officer when carrying the weapon consignment or noxious substance consignment.
Subregulation 2
A Licensing Officer may approve one or more routes within Singapore for the carriage of weapon consignments or noxious substance consignments by a holder of a weapon transport licence or noxious substance transport licence, being routes that, as far as is reasonably practicable —
avoid densely populated areas;
avoid traffic peak periods;
avoid the Central Business District; and
avoid hazards which might disturb the load carried in a way that creates a risk of spillage, leakage or accidental discharge of the noxious substance.
Subregulation 3
To avoid doubt, a Licensing Officer may approve different routes for different classes or descriptions of holders of licences, weapons, noxious substances or vessels or vehicles, or for different circumstances.
