The decision of the Municipality of Tirana to limit the circulation of heavy vehicles and concrete mixers during the day, but especially in the morning, when children go to school, has given the first positive effects.
Such a fact is confirmed by the Chief of Prevention and Safety in Urban Traffic, Commissar Taulant Gjoka. In an interview for the show “Breaking” on Top News, Gjoka said that the first positive signals are visible on the ground.
“Through the Traffic Control Center, but also the human resources that we have on the ground every day, to regulate traffic, there is a positive fact and a facilitation of the movement of vehicles and citizens. The first positive signals are visible on the ground and citizens who use their vehicles every day, especially in the morning and afternoon hours, can be more objective and to touch this traffic relief“, He said.
The same opinion is shared by the Director of the Directorate of Transport and Road Traffic in the Municipality of Tirana Enton Punavija. He confirmed that from the monitoring of the traffic there is a relief of movement during the day. “The impact has been felt not only on private vehicles, but also on public transport lines, we have learned from communication with them. As part of the reorganization of public transport, due to the pandemic and the measures we had taken, in the last conversation we had with them, we were told that the number of vehicles provided is greater, because the speed of movement is very different from what it was before. I think the impact it has given is very important. These are well-known measures, which are not taken only in Tirana, but which are examples that have been taken in other cities as well. The essence is the division of schedules and the division of movement. So, if the schools start in the morning, and with Covid’s situation last all day, with certain schedules, it is very important that this time space be given to the movement in function of schools, or private means of work. As in the time when the school is finished, the private vehicles have completed their work, priority is given to the vehicles in function of construction or supply“, Emphasizes Punavija. He underlined that there is a very important cooperation with the Traffic Police and the structures of the Municipal Police.
Commissioner Taulant Gjoka states that the controls are continuing in close cooperation with the Municipality of Tirana for the normalization of the traffic situation. “We have started with controls and administrative measures. There was a tendency to circulate in the first days of January, but in recent days the impact of administrative measures and control of the Traffic Police, including the municipality of Tirana, in cooperation with other structures of the Municipal Police, has significantly decreased. We are in constant contact with the municipality of Tirana so that we do not become an obstacle, but to allow the construction industry to carry out their works that have emergency, but without creating traffic loads “, underlines Gjoka, Head of Prevention and Urban Traffic Safety.
