One photo captures the moment a mother, holding her child, rushes between two lorries, even though there is a pedestrian crossing just a few steps away.
“A mother with her child in her arms, passing hurriedly between two trucks, and just a few steps away… there is a pedestrian crossing. What example will the child follow when he has to cross the street alone? The short, risky and convenient way at the moment or the safe way and just a few more steps away? It is just one example of the 11,582 pedestrian violations recorded nationwide in just one week!

The Police’s post provoked reactions among netizens.
One of them wrote that “as long as pedestrians don’t receive fines, this is how they behave in traffic. In Romania, pedestrians can be given road education if they end up paying. Otherwise, pedestrians remain the most dangerous participants in traffic, unfortunately“.
“Did you fine her? Or at least a warning, so she knows that next time she can beat her? If you don’t take action, nothing changes.” another user submitted.
“To be a driver nowadays, you have to watch out for mopeds, scooters, bicycles, carts, pedestrians who don’t take care of their lives… (not to mention the unconsciousness of some drivers)”, someone else added.
The Romanian Police reminds the importance of following traffic rules.
