The proposed Road Transport Act 2018 will be placed before the parliament next Sunday, Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said on Wednesday.

"If not during this session, the govt will hopefully enact it in the last parliamentary session due in October," the minister added.
Quader also said that it is now mandatory for every bikers and pillion riders, including the children, to wear helmets on the roads.
