The two drivers left their cars so no one could be sure when they wanted to go outside in Sector 1.

The B365 website, dedicated to the problems of Bucharest, published a “school” image of how parking is not allowed, and cars are parked in the capital, the journalists write.

The image shows how two cars, which are parked practically at the edges of the pedestrian crossing, “cut” the roadway perpendicularly.

The consequence of this is that no one can leave Piatra Morii Street without running the risk of being hit. Because you can’t be sure.

Piatra Morii is a street in the Jiului district, in the northeast of the city, near Basilescu Park. The photo comes from the group “You parked like an ox in Bucharest”.

According to data provided by the authorities, in 2023 there were 10 million vehicles in Romania, of which 8 million were cars, of which almost 2 million were in Bucharest.

Many of these cars are old. “We have 2.43 million cars over 20 years old that are running and they are in an uncertain technical condition. That is, a third of the fleet. And this is in conditions where cars under 10 years old do not even reach 20% of the total number. In other words, half of the cars in traffic, almost 4 million, are between 10 and 20 years old,” reports autocritica.ro.

As for Bucharest, it is traditionally one of the busiest cities in the world, according to measured traffic. In 2021, the Romanian capital was ranked 8th in the world for traffic jams, according to the annual index carried out by the manufacturer of GPS systems Tomtom.
