Drivers and bikers warned: Minsk Region traffic police conducts "Speed" campaign
Belarusian drivers and bikers have been warned: from today, September 11, the Minsk Region State Traffic Inspectorate is holding a preventive campaign called “Speed”.
The event will last for several days – until September 15 (Sunday).
This information was published on its official Telegram channel by the press service of the Minsk Regional Executive Committee Department of Internal Affairs.
The campaign is aimed at preventing road accidents that occur due to speeding.
By the way, it is precisely these types of accidents that dominate the overall statistics of road accidents.
Over the first 8 months of 2024, in the Minsk region alone, 87 accidents occurred due to speeding, taking the lives of 5 people and injuring another 108 citizens.
During this period, traffic police officers on the region’s roads recorded 12,126 instances of speeding violations.
In order to stop and prevent further speeding violations, the State Traffic Inspectorate is holding the above-mentioned campaign in the Minsk region from September 11 to 15.
It is noted that during this event, law enforcement officers use both overt and covert control, as well as mixed control.
In this case, speed meters are used on potentially dangerous sections of roads and streets that are subject to the greatest risk of accidents due to speeding violations.
The State Traffic Inspectorate pays special attention to bikers, among whom there are many who like to speed recklessly.
