The results of the research show that law enforcement regarding violations of goods transport loads on the roads of Surakarta City, like most regions, has regulations governing motor vehicle loads that must be followed by drivers and vehicle owners. This includes the maximum permitted load weight, safety requirements, and types of goods that can be transported. Understanding these regulations is the first step in effective law enforcement. The level of public awareness and compliance with cargo regulations plays a key role in preventing violations. The goods transportation industry in the city of Surakarta also has a role in maintaining compliance with cargo regulations. Obstacles that arise in law enforcement regarding violations of goods transport on Surakarta City roads. A lack of law enforcement personnel, limited budgets, and inadequate equipment can hinder the ability to conduct inspections and take action efficiently. Load inspection requires the right equipment, such as a road scale. Limited access to this equipment can be an obstacle in detecting violations. Lack of coordination between various authorities, such as traffic police, traffic authorities, and other related agencies, can cause obstacles in the implementation of law enforcement. The level of public awareness and compliance with cargo regulations can be low. The public may not fully understand or appreciate the importance of cargo regulations.
