Massive Holiday Exodus Predicted as Nearly 1 Million Bulgarians Hit the Road
Anticipated heavy traffic looms over Bulgaria as the nation gears up for the upcoming holidays
The police are preparing for work on the holidays. Increased patrols in populated areas, increased presence at the entrances and exits of large cities, as well as around commercial establishments - these are part of the measures taken to ensure security during the upcoming holiday cycle.
“The organization for ensuring traffic safety is very serious”, Chief Inspector Lachezar Bliznakov from "Traffic Police" informed the media.
Today and tomorrow there will be a maximum police presence at the entrances and exits of the major settlements because of the expected intense traffic before Christmas Eve and Christmas.
"If necessary, they will regulate where necessary. Through the method of linear control, they will move in the transport flows. Police officers will be inside the transport flows so that they can monitor the behavior of all participants," explained Bliznakov.
Violators will be taken out of the traffic stream and thoroughly checked, specified Inspector Bliznakov.
"These drivers who show grumpiness, nervousness - they are our concern. We will get them off the road."
We rely on reasonable tolerant behavior of the drivers, reminded the inspector from the "Traffic Police".
"To travel carefully. All maneuvers and overtaking are pointless. There's no hurry these days!"
"The traffic will be the most intense today and tomorrow. The return journey will be more fragmented, on different busy days and hours", expressed the expectations of the "Road Police" Lachezar Bliznakov.
According to him, in the period from December 24-27, as well as immediately after the New Year, the checks will also be transferred to small settlements, resort and tourist complexes.
Train travelers should know that the BDZ system for online inquiries about train timetables and routes is not working. Inquiries and ticket purchases can only be made at the stations.
