“The Ministry of Internal Affairs’ priority is to comply with road safety rules, therefore, the law has been tightened. The patrol police are actively enforcing the law. All citizens who violate road safety will be fined.

I call on pedestrians not to violate traffic rules and to obey the law”, - said Levan Maisuradze, Director of the Patrol Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
