ArmInfo. The Road Police of Armenia issued a statement on the proper organization of traffic on the roads of the republic.
As the press service of the RA Police told ArmInfo, the traffic police was reminded that they met the road users, mitigating administrative punishment for a number of offenses and replacing them with verbal warnings. At the same time, the department noted that this step was aimed at raising public awareness and in no way should be perceived as weakness or easing of traffic control. "Unfortunately, some of our citizens perceive these unacceptable data from the unacceptable side, not realizing that the task of the traffic police is not to demonstrate their capabilities and fines, but by improving the culture of the road, ensuring the safety of its participants." There are two methods of traffic management - repressive means and increase culture of driving. The police have all the powers to strictly punish violators of traffic and, if necessary, it will resort to penitentiary measures. Be we call on all the citizens as full-fledged partners of the police of the Republic of Armenia, to contribute to the improvement of the culture of the road. This is not a difficult task, we just have to comply with the high-speed regime, do not drive under the influence of alcoholic beverages, fasten safety belts and be respectful of other road users, " in the message of the RA Police.
