Illegal parking, on the one hand, causes traffic congestion increasing the risk of road collisions and, on the other hand, hinders the safe movement of pedestrians and people with disabilities.
During the month of March[/B], members of the police detected more than 290 violations nationwide, for which they were issued with relevant summonses, in an effort to tackle the phenomenon of illegal parking of vehicles.
Specifically, 104 drivers were cited for parking on a sidewalk or pedestrian walkway, 56 for parking in handicapped spaces, 54 for parking a short distance from a bus stop or pedestrian crossing, 15 for parking on the opposite side of the vehicle's path, and another 63 drivers for parking on a double/stop yellow line or at a street intersection.
Traffic controls by members of the Police continue, with the aim of preventing traffic collisions but also to instil good road awareness among all road users.
