This year’s first major police traffic checks are coming soon – ROADPOL actions
Motorists, as is customary, encounter various European traffic checks annually lasting a week – these are the upcoming 2024 ROADPOL actions.
Lorries and buses
ROADPOL has pulished its plans and dates for 2024, with the initial focus on lorries and buses scheduled from 19th to 25th February 2024.
During this operation, the police will target trucks and buses, scrutinising compliance with regulations binding professional drivers. Authorities will pay specific attention to drivers’ adherence to rest periods, rules regarding the transport of hazardous materials and scrutiny of entry and legality of stay in the country.
Needless to say, this operation doesn’t only concern heavy vehicles; motorists must also adhere to rules, otherwise they risk being ejected from the queue just as swiftly,” warns alapjarat.hu.
Seat belt check – 11-17 March 2024
In March, the police will shift focus from vehicle type to seat belts, ensuring proper usage. Besides proper equipment use, penalties may be imposed if the seat belt is faulty, stuck or broken.
Speed speed check – 15-21 April 2024
The Speed series of actions remains an important part of ROADPOL’s annual plan, as speeding has once again played a major role in the accident statistics for the first half of this year.
A 24-hour SpeedMarathon check is scheduled for 19 April.
