The great travel during which 700 000 Bulgarians will head to different destinations in Bulgaria and abroad in view of the forthcoming Christmas holidays starts from Tuesday.

Although many people took a leave from work on Monday and Tuesday and have already left Sofia and the bigger cities, major traffic jams are expected on the main travel routes on Tuesday.

Traffic police is to mobilise its full potential of men and technology in order to guarantee the discipline on the roads.

With the new organisation, traffic police will not stop drivers who have broken the rules, but will rely on the evidences recorded by 148 mobile and 25 stationary cameras.

In view of the heavy traffic expected on Tuesday, it is unlikely that there will be operations from the so-called “all-encompassing control” under which several vehicles are stopped at once and a check is carried out on the drivers and on the condition of the vehicles.

According to tradition, from 18 h to 21 h on Tuesday the movement of heavy transport vehicles over 12 tonnes is to be limited on motorways and certain routes from the republican road network.

The aim is to increase road safety amidst the heavy traffic, which is expected during the holidays.
