Road police

The Traffic Police has carried out checks and monitoring of vehicle drivers who violate the rules on some road axes.

"Rrugorja" informs that due to the influx of movements, especially in coastal areas, during the weekend, mobile patrols have been added, supported by general patrols and the "Eagle" Special Force, to ease traffic.

Special teams of the Traffic Police are scheduled to serve in the Llogara tunnel, which is monitored 24/7 with cameras and speedometers, to prevent violations of traffic rules during traffic in the tunnel.

As a result of monitoring on all road axes, during this week:

- 129 driving licenses were suspended, for speeding above the permitted rates, for driving under the influence of alcohol/in a drunken state, and for driving in the opposite direction;

- 47 drivers were arrested for driving while intoxicated and for driving without a driving license.

Also, 31,586 administrative measures have been imposed throughout the country, of which:

-8303 for speed exceeding the permitted rates;

-1453 for using a mobile phone while driving;

-2567 for not using the seat belt;

-2670 for wrong passings;

-344 for not wearing a protective helmet;

-223 for dangerous maneuvers on the road;

-225 for driving under the influence of alcohol;

-13456 for wrong parking;

-2345 for other violations.

Also, during the next week, the Traffic Police services will intensively continue monitoring on all urban, interurban and rural roads, using the intelligent tools and the modern logistic base at their disposal, with the aim of increasing road safety parameters.

The Traffic Police appeals to all drivers of vehicles and motor vehicles, to strictly implement traffic rules, to use alternative routes, to stay in line when there is a slowdown in the movement of vehicles in cases of traffic, to give priority to pedestrians and not to make wrong passes or dangerous maneuvers in urban centers and national axes.

Also, truck drivers must strictly implement movement restrictions during the weekend and official holidays.
