This work has become a regular task with the active participation of many social sectors. Many aspects of the work have changed significantly and are becoming more practical and effective. These are very encouraging signs, demonstrating the right direction in the leadership, direction and organization of the implementation of the task of ensuring traffic safety and order in our country and the work of ensuring road traffic safety and order has achieved important results.
