We have approximately five hundred traffic violations that have been recorded by smart cameras and I would like to express my immense gratitude to Macedonian citizens and conscientious road users because you are the ones who made it possible to drastically reduce the number in two months, from somewhere over 120,000 to 500 violations. You are the ones who reduced the number of people injured in traffic accidents by around 35% on the territory of Skopje and you are the ones who reduced the number of deaths in traffic accidents from 11 to 4,” underlined Minister Toshkovski during his visit on Monday.
