The Road Infrastructure Agency announced that it is taking measures to improve traffic safety on the 14-kilometer section of the Plovdiv ring road, part of the secondary road II-86 Plovdiv - Asenovgrad (from km 0 to km 14).
The plan includes reducing the maximum allowed speed to 50 km/h, removing existing restrictive systems, and installing dividers – bollards, between the two lanes of traffic.
The decision to implement these measures was made following a meeting between representatives of the Plovdiv Regional Administration, the municipalities of Plovdiv, Rodopi, and Maritsa, business organizations, the Regional Road Administration, non-governmental organizations, civic associations, mayors, and Members of Parliament.
As part of the project, a procedure has been initiated to change the traffic organization, which is necessary for the implementation of the new measures. After development, the changes will be coordinated with the "Traffic Police" – Ministry of Interior, municipalities, and the State Agency "Road Safety".
The installation of physical dividers will limit conflict points and the risk of head-on collisions, improve driver discipline, and serve a preventive role in the event of accidents.
The republican road was built more than 50 years ago and is now handling over 24,000 motor vehicles daily. This intense traffic exhausts its capacity, which is why it is planned to modernize it as a long-term solution for the development of road infrastructure in the Plovdiv region.
