YEREVAN TRAFFIC CREATES CHAOS

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 10, ARMENPRESS: Road police officers in Yerevan say the crucial increase in the number of cars is number one problem that hinders their efforts to bring some order to the streets. Around 12,000 cars are said to be bought by Yerevan residents annually. In addition to it, some 20,000 other cars enter the city from nearby and remote regions.
A drastic increase in the number of taxis is another problem. Some 6,000 officially registered taxis alone run in the town’s streets, but road police officers say their real number is thrice bigger, implicating that some 12,000 taxis are not registered avoiding taxes.
The government has released 600 million drams for upgrading traffic lights in Yerevan. The Yerevan municipality is negotiating with World Bank a credit that it wants to spend on reforming the transport system. Last week the president of the country instructed several government agencies to join efforts and bring order to the streets, saying the focus must be on thousands of minibuses which are the main commuter means in the city.
Police officers are trying to prevent minibuses to stop and pick up or unload passengers wherever they want, but at special stops only.
Officials in Yerevan municipality cite also the construction boom in the city, the absence of a ring road and few parking lots as yet other reasons that create chaos in the streets.
