Four drivers fined for blocking Jane Sandanski Boulevard in Skopje
Police summoned four drivers aged 23–48 on October 11; measures were taken under the Road Traffic Safety Law.
Four drivers were sanctioned after their vehicles obstructed traffic on Jane Sandanski Boulevard in Skopje, an incident that came to light following a video shared in the media showing several cars blocking the roadway.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs said that on October 11 four people between the ages of 23 and 48 were summoned to the Road Traffic Safety Department at the Skopje Police Department.
The individuals are drivers of an Audi, a BMW, another Audi and a Suzuki, all registered with Skopje licence plates.
Measures and penalties
Police officials reported that appropriate measures were taken against the drivers under the Law on Road Traffic Safety. The drivers will face the fines prescribed by law for the traffic offences committed.
Authorities opened the procedure after reviewing the video evidence, and the action underscores that deliberate obstruction of traffic lanes is subject to administrative sanctions.
Police reiterated that blocking main thoroughfares endangers other road users and warned that similar behaviour will be met with fines and further legal steps when warranted.
