What is known about changes in traffic regulations?

The statement on this occasion was made by the First Deputy Head of the Patrol Police Department of Ukraine, Oleksiy Biloshitskyi.

According to him, during the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which took place on April 1, amendments were made to the Traffic Rules.

From now on, paragraph 2.16 clearly states that motorcycle drivers (except motorcycles with sidecars, motorized strollers and three-wheeled vehicles) can drive in the lane for route vehicles. Moped drivers have also received the same right, which is enshrined in subparagraph "b" of this paragraph.

It is worth noting that this initiative was launched by the Patrol Police Department with the support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The main goals of this initiative are:

1. Harmonize the legislation of Ukraine with the practices of the European Union countries, where a similar solution has long been successfully operating in many countries;

2. Reduce traffic jams in large cities, as two-wheeled vehicles will be able to move more freely on the roads;

3. To increase the safety of moped and motorcyclist riders and other road users while driving in heavy traffic.
