The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing approved new municipal requirements regulating mobile cart activities to strengthen compliance, provide a safe operating environment, and raise health and food practice standards. Requirements set designated parking locations at least 10 meters from fuel stations, banning stops in residential areas or near emergency exits, and require slip-resistant equipment, ventilation keeping cart interior temperature at or below 25°C, licensing and site permits.
