Transport chaos and confused drivers in the center of Sofia. Drivers drive in the opposite direction on the street "Fritjof Nansen" because of the changes related to traffic organization.

Traffic lights, indicating signs and markings for two-way traffic. The same street - in the opposite direction, the sign indicates that traffic is one-way. Our check shows that even at this moment, only those who left from "Patriarch Euthymius" to "Fryer Nansen", BTV reported.

The many and varied signs confuse drivers who inadvertently drive into oncoming traffic and cause dangerous situations. Therefore, the people of the area have to take on the role of regulators - to go out into the street and warn them that they are in violation, but unwillingly.

„They were standing at the traffic light against the oncoming cars, in the opposite direction. Without knowing the marking. And there is a traffic light system, says Vasil Kazakov.

At the end of the street we still see 2 signs that traffic is prohibited. One of the posted stop signs has already fallen. The other is moved aside.

„I just don't know what to tell you – it's not nice, it's very messed up. I don't know why it's done like that”, commented another passing driver.

When asked whether measures will be taken to secure the section, the Metropolitan Municipality stated that after the suspension of the project, the court ordered the development of options for a temporary organization that would not conflict with the regulations of the magistrates. The goal is to introduce it until a subsequent ruling by the court.
