They have also noted shortcomings in the transport of hazardous materials. Truckers have also been stopped for speeding.

Police decided to bolster surveillance this week due to the growth of heavy traffic and to comply with EU guidelines. Several countries throughout the EU are also keeping a close eye on heavy traffic this week.
