The Liberal Party registered a bill providing for the introduction of new penalties for illegal parking of vehicles in the Code of Administrative Offences. The bill authors argue the problem of illegal parking in the towns of Moldova has expanded, IPN reports.

According to a communiqué from the Liberal Party, even if penalties are now imposed for illegal parking, these measures do not solve the exiting problems. Vehicles are often parked on lawns, in green areas and even on sidewalks, creating thus impediments to pedestrians.

The Liberal MPs propose including a new penalty – the towing away of vehicles parked illegally. The costs for towing, transporting and parking such vehicles will be covered by the vehicle owners.
