The video cameras and speed recorders in Yerevan's streets are inefficient, because the number of road accidents has not only failed to decline, but also has grown even more, says the Armenian National Congress' statement sent to ArmInfo.
"The goal of the unreasonably high penalties for violation of traffic rules, as well as the pay parking lots is to rob the average citizens and to make the privileged stratum even wealthier. Taking into account the publications that the ruling regime is behind the cameras and speed recorders, as well as the fact that these publications have not been refuted, one can state that this business provides the ruling regime representative with surplus profit", the statement says.
That being said, the Armenian National Congress suggests liquidating the pay parking lots, reducing the penalties for traffic rules violation 5-fold and transferring 70% of the penalty funds to a special account to subsidize the public transport fare. The ANC will include these suggestions in its party program.
