The holiday period, as every year, is characterized by increased traffic, which is why there were more police patrols on roads throughout the country. Police operations began on December 24.
Zgorzelec police officers paid particular attention to, among other things:
- speed
- drivers’ sobriety
- the use of seat belts by drivers and passengers, as well as how children were transported
- the technical condition of vehicles.
