From September 16, enhanced road safety checks begin across Latvia and the EU

From September 16 to 22, Latvia, along with other European Union member states, will take part in the annual 'ROADPOL Safety Days' initiative. As part of this campaign, police forces across Europe will focus increased attention on road traffic safety issues.

What the ROADPOL campaign involves

The campaign runs simultaneously in several European countries, including Latvia, and forms part of broader European police cooperation on road safety. Throughout the week, police across the continent will step up enforcement of traffic rules.

The campaign is held annually and aims to remind drivers and other road users of the need to follow safety rules, thereby helping to reduce the number of traffic accidents and their consequences.

During the campaign, residents of Latvia, like those in other EU countries, can expect more frequent police checks on the roads.
