More than 100 residents of Bulgaria's Samokov blocked Monday a major crossroad of the town as a sign of protest against the heavy truck traffic on the road, which connects the town with the capital city of Sofia.
The same measures will be taken every day between 9:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., the press center of the Samokov Municipality announced last week.
The initiative is supported by the Town Council of Samokov and aims to reduce the truck traffic on the Sofia-Samokov road in order to bring down the high number of car crashes there.
The Samokov Mayor Angel Nikolov has warned the state authorities a number of times that he was going to place his own desk out on the road, and to work there as a protest measure.
If the state authorities have not reacted to the protest by Wednesday, the Samokov residents are going to block the road all day starting Thursday.
Samokov is located at the foot of the Rila Mountain, and is close to the popular winter resort Borovetz.
