Shpend Ahmeti warns “tollive tax” to reduce traffic

Pristina Mayor Shpend Ahmeti says that over 100,000 cars entered Pristina on entry roads during the day, labeling it a major problem, which cannot solve even the construction of the city ring.

Ahmeti has warned that in the following months, he will be considering ʹCongestion Chargeı, which is a payment to enter the city's center by car, in order to avoid heavy traffic.

Ahmeti also warns that since January 2020 public parking lot will be limited -- 2 hours for those who are not neighborhood residents -- Periscope broadcasts.

Ahmeti also warns that parking in the centre will be more expensive.

Ahmeti's Complete Posting

Over 100 thousand cars enter Pristina on access roads during the day. Close roads that do not allow expansion cannot afford this amount of vehicles. The most sensitive times are breakfast because of the people who come to work and from 16 hours ago, 18 when they leave Pristina.

The city ring will download some of the cars that enter transit, but the main problem remains the large number of cars that enter.

Since January 2020, public parking will be limited to 2 hours for those who are not neighborhood residents, so those who park in the center should consider where they will leave the car. Also, downtown parking will be more expensive.

We're going to start building five Parks and Reed parking lots at the entrance of town.

We'll invest further in public transport.

POR, in the coming weeks and months, we will seriously consider Congestion Charge in busy parts of the city. We're looking to make this through smart cameras reading signs. This brand of “tolovia” along with other investments can facilitate communication and reduce pollution in the capital.
