For the safety of pedestrians, to increase the visibility of pedestrian crossings for drivers moving along the carriageway, parking on pedestrian crossings and closer than 10 meters to them is prohibited, which is provided for in clause 15.9 g (Parking is prohibited on pedestrian crossings and closer than 10 m from them on both sides, except for cases of giving priority in traffic) traffic rules.
This was reported to the Patrol Police of the Lviv Region
Parking at a pedestrian crossing creates not only discomfort in movement for pedestrians, but also an obstacle to the early detection of pedestrians, which is a significant risk factor that leads to road accidents: hitting a pedestrian and collision when a car driver stops to give priority to pedestrians .
It seems that the driver of the Mitsubishi car forgot about this rule. The day before, concerned citizens published a photo on social networks of how the driver of the mentioned car parked on a pedestrian crossing.
Within minutes, the patrol crew was at the scene. The car was still parked with the violation. The 55-year-old driver was issued a resolution under part 1 of Art. 122 (Violation of stop rules) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Follow the traffic rules, because not only the police are watching for violators, but also caring citizens! Thank you!
