A man from Cluj built his own speed limiter on the street where he lives.

Images of an improvised obstacle on a street in Cluj-Napoca have drawn the attention of the authorities, and the teams from the City Hall intervened to remove the construction and restore the roadway to its original state.

Deputy Mayor Dan Tarcea emphasized that residents do not have the right to modify public property without approval. The Local Police is investigating the circumstances under which the work was carried out and will apply any penalties if necessary.

In Cluj-Napoca, the placement of speed bumps must be officially requested, and the Traffic Safety Service analyzes the requests in collaboration with the Traffic Police. Mayor Emil Boc explained that the requests are evaluated by a traffic committee.

The case on Remetea Street is not unique, as there are other controversies related to speed bumps in Romania, including a similar incident in Buzău County. Over time, Cluj-Napoca has faced issues related to such arrangements, including complaints regarding the dimensions and signaling of the speed bumps.
