Road transport

Tomorrow and Saturday, in order to facilitate traffic during peak hours, the movement of vehicles over 12 tons will be restricted between the 5th and 23rd kilometers of the Trakia highway in the direction of Burgas, reported the Road Infrastructure Agency.

A drunk driver was arrested after trying to avoid a police check.

Minutes after midnight today, a patrol car in Trud issued a signal to stop a car passing through the village with a stop light. However, the driver did not obey and continued in the direction of Plovdiv.

As Tanjug was told in the MUP, around 7:30 am, two passenger vehicles and a cargo vehicle collided.
Two or three people were injured, the police said.

On the last of the Easter holidays, heavy traffic is expected in the major Bulgarian cities. After 2 p.m. there will be an increased police presence on the roads. Alcohol and drug tests are also ongoing.

Necessary measures are being taken in order to speed up the passage of vehicles, work at toll stations has been intensified, all channels for toll collection and card distribution are in operation 24 hours a day without a break, it was stated in the announcement.

Turkish pilots have signed an important campaign to raise awareness about excessive speed and have filmed a public service ad warning about speed limits.

All three lanes are congested from the direction of New Belgrade and vehicles are standing still on a highway.
The reason for the traffic jam is a collision near "Sava Center".
At the same time, one vehicle broke down in the left lane, which further complicates traffic.

Police were looking on Tuesday for a man who held up a toll collector at the Doukissis Plakentias toll station, in northern Athens, on the Attiki Odos ring road.

The unidentified suspect rode up to the toll booth on a motorcycle at around 5.30 a.m. and threatened the collector with a gun, according to reports.

New, tougher measures for drunk and drugged drivers, as well as those who drive at excessive speed, are already in place in Bulgaria. The changes concern the number of points that are deducted from drivers for violations.

Bulgaria has the most dangerous roads for driving heavy goods vehicles in Europe, according to a study by a British technology and logistics company.

International drivers complain about broken roads, kilometers-long queues at borders, lack of rest areas and systematic violation of traffic rules, which often lead to accidents with fatal consequences.
