INTT is deployed to promote the removal of LED lamps from vehicles

The National Institute of Land Traffic (INTT) is deployed throughout the country to urge drivers to remove LED lights from their vehicles, because their use is prohibited as established by the Regulations of the Land Transport Act, in its articles 29 and 33.

Through its official account on the social network X, the INTT has released photographs of the actions carried out in this regard in various parts of the country, in which officials can be seen removing this type of device in private vehicles, public transport and motorcycles.

One of these sites is the Guanare terminal in the Portuguese state, where Institute officials are deployed together with members of the Bolivarian National Police to get users to remove the LED bars from their vehicles, says one of the publications.

Also in San Felipe, Yaracuy state, INTT officials are active verifying the existence of LED lights in vehicles and requesting that they be repeated in cases that warrant it.

“INTT and @PNBVzla officials deployed at different stops in the San Cristóbal municipality provide information about the ban on LED lights. In addition, they promote education and road safety for drivers,” the entity published in another message.

According to international studies, light-emitting diodes (known as LEDs for their acronym in English: Light Emitting Diode) cause damage to the eyes, as they can accumulate cellular waste called lipofuscin in the retinal epithelium, the Ministry for Transportation said.

These visual damages can in turn cause traffic accidents, because they affect the visibility of drivers driving in the opposite direction. For this reason, the use of these devices in vehicles that circulate in the country has been banned for some time now.
