Russian tourists caused a traffic collapse in Gudauri

"Russian tourists have their cars parked directly on the road, which caused a traffic collapse in Gudauri," Miranda Esakia, co-founder of "Mountain Resorts Business Association", told "Business Press News".

We remind you that on New Year's Day, citizens actively wrote on social networks about the problems on the roads in Gudauri. According to vacationers, there are delays both on the entrance to the resort and on the internal roads.

As Miranda Esakia told "Business Press News", the relevant services could not ensure the transfer of cars parked in the non-parking zone to the parking lot, which caused the mentioned problems.

"This road, from the main road to New Gudauri, the access section to Gondoli Square, which is the long-awaited road for 6 years, was broken. Imagine that so many international tourists are coming and we did not have a road. After 6 years of request, they built a road and a footpath for pedestrians. However, they did not widen the road, at his expense A path has been added. 2 cars cannot pass on this road at the same time, it is so narrow. On New Year's Day, cars were stuck in a traffic jam for 5 hours in full Gudauri.

The equipment is indeed coming to clear the road, but there are tourists' cars parked right on the road and it cannot be done. Basically, cars with Russian license plates are lined up. You can't contact them, you can't find where this tourist is parked, and you can't do anything with this car either. They don't want to pay for parking. Because of this, cars are parked on the road, which is already narrow.

The second issue is management – ​​the mountain resorts and the police did not have the appropriate equipment. As we were told to the business association, according to the rule, the appropriate equipment should appear today and all vehicles should be taken to the penalty area. After that, they will be able to come in and clear the way.

All this caused the collapse - they did not have the parking system in order, the fine system did not work, there were no "spider" evacuators; No special terry was allocated Toria, where fined vehicles were taken. When all this is settled and the patrol police gets involved, after that they will clear the road and the problem will be solved.

In total, there is a problem with a road of at most one and a half kilometers. Due to the impurity of the road and the traffic jams, the ambulance can no longer enter. Not even the police can come properly, it's going crazy. In addition, garbage trucks cannot enter, they bring Gudauri garbage", said Miranda Esakia.
