Authorities will stop drivers in traffic and ask where they are coming from, where they are going, and what they are transporting

Drivers traveling on Romania’s national roads and motorways may be stopped by police officers and asked about their journey as part of an initiative aimed at optimizing the national road network.

Drivers will be asked where they set off from, what destination they are heading to, the purpose of their journey, and what they are transporting. Authorities say the information collected will help provide a more accurate assessment of how road infrastructure is used throughout the country.

The answers provided by drivers will be anonymous, and the questioning is not intended to individually check road users, but to obtain data on journeys made on roads and motorways. The information is expected to help identify the routes used, frequent destinations, and types of transport carried out.

The initiative is a road traffic analysis measure, amid efforts by authorities to adapt and improve infrastructure according to the real needs of those using Romania’s roads.
