The State Police said it has imposed 27,000 fines and revoked 145 permits for various violations.
What is apparent on the police balance is that nearly half of the fines are imposed for the wrong parking lot. The number of penalties for wrong overheads, 3434 such as speeding above the norms, is also high, with 7 thousand fines.

Road Policing Services will continue intensive monitoring on all urban, interurban and rural roads, using intelligent tools and modern logistical base available, in order to increase road safety parameters.
The Road Police appeals to all drivers of vehicles and motor vehicles, to strictly enforce the road traffic rules, to use alternative roads, to stand in line when there is slowing the movement of vehicles in cases of influx, to give priority to pedestrians and not to perform wrong passes or dangerous manoeuvres in urban centers and national axes.
Truck drivers also strictly enforce movement restrictions, during weekends and official holidays.
In order to increase the parameters of road safety, the State Police invites citizens to denounce the free number 112, any case of violation of road traffic rules.
