Police use drone for surveillance on Trakia motorway in Pazardzhik region over the weekend

Intensified police checks will take place on the Trakia motorway in Pazardzhik region on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Additional teams will monitor risky driving, improper overtaking and driving in the emergency lane, according to the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior – Pazardzhik.

The operation will involve officers from the Traffic Police sector and teams from the district administrations in Pazardzhik, Septemvri and Panagyurishte. To identify violations on the highway, a drone will also be used to detect drivers performing dangerous maneuvers, driving in the emergency lane or making improper overtakes, reports BTA.

When a violation is established, drivers will be taken off the active highway traffic and the necessary administrative actions will be taken against them. In addition, the police will monitor compliance with the restrictions on the movement of trucks over 12 tons during peak traffic hours. The ban applies on Friday in the direction of Burgas and on Sunday in the direction of Sofia.

The aim is to reduce the formation of queues of heavy vehicles and to lower the risk of accidents on the A2 Trakia Motorway. The Pazardzhik Directorate of the Interior appeals to drivers to observe traffic rules, to adapt to road conditions, and to drive with heightened attention.

In Pazardzhik region, specialized checks against risky driving and noisy vehicles continue. In a operation last week, 63 vehicles were checked, seven acts and 11 fines were issued, and one of the drivers found was unlicensed.
