The government is preparing a major reform aimed at improving road safety, which envisages the introduction of intelligent early warning systems on motorways and the establishment of a unified structure for the digital monitoring of traffic in real time, Regional Development and Public Works Minister Ivan Shishkov told Bulgaria ON AIR on Thursday.
Shishkov reiterated that the Road Infrastructure Agency is preparing a new public procurement procedure for the design and construction of an intelligent transport system, with funding earmarked in the draft 2027 state budget. He did not specify the amount allocated.
The plans include setting up an entirely new structure that will bring together the capabilities of the National Toll Administration, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Interior. The aim is to enable real-time road monitoring and fundamentally transform the role of the toll system, turning it from an instrument primarily used to issue fines into a comprehensive tool for traffic management and road safety.
Shishkov added that legislative amendments would be necessary to implement the changes, which are expected to be completed by mid-2027.
The Minister also said that the two fatal multi-vehicle pile-ups on the Trakia Motorway near the Zimnitsa road junction could have been caused by a combination of drivers travelling at inappropriate speeds and the absence of intelligent traffic management systems capable of warning motorists about motorway hazards in real time.
