Traffic and Accidents Mark Post-Holiday Return on Roads in Pazardzhik

On the last working day of the holiday weekend, traffic in Bulgaria was extremely heavy, with a focus on the main road arteries leading to Sofia.

This afternoon on the A1 "Trakia" Highway a chain collision involving six passenger cars occurred between the 76th and 77th kilometers. It is suspected that the incident happened due to a failure to maintain a safe distance between vehicles.

Additionally, there was a road accident at the 98-kilometer mark near the turnoff for Kalugerovo.

Police presence on the roads has been increased, with over 700 teams and more than 500 cameras monitoring for traffic violations.

Unmarked police cars are also participating in the operation, checking for speed, dangerous overtaking, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The goal is to ease traffic and prevent accidents as many people return home after the holidays.

The Road Police have purchased special arrangements for the flow heading to Greece, where traffic is traditionally heavy after the holidays. To avoid congestion, a double lane has been provided in the Sofia direction on the main routes.

Services are aimed at easing traffic flow and increasing road safety during this busy period.
