Why and how did truckers blocked the bypass road in Uzhgorod: first-hand details (photo, video)

On December 10, in the evening, it was reported that truck drivers were blocking the bypass road in Uzhgorod leading to the cargo terminal "Uzhgorod" on the border with Slovakia.

Although recently road blocking, unfortunately, has become a common occurrence, the incident is still extraordinary and unexpected, so our correspondent went at the scene.

Immediately he noticed that there were a lot of passenger cars passing by the intersection of the highway with the road to Pidlypnyky. That is, the highway was not blocked. A group of people in vests with reflective ribbons were standing on the roadside. A patrol police car was nearby. No fighting or even loud shouts.

– We have been waiting here in line since Saturday, – one of the drivers said, – in three days, we barely made half a kilometer.  During this time, some trucks were constantly cutting the line. We got tired of it. Now we are stopping the trucks and tell them to go to the end of the line.

– So you are not stopping passenger cars and other vehicles, are you?

– Of course, not!

Also, a comment by a patrol police officer.

 

So, there is no blocking as such. Anyone who is not involved in freight traffic can drive on the road freely. However, there are still questions about the work of the Ukrainian and Slovak customs offices, as well as to the authorities in general: the situation with long lines is repeated regularly, therefore the issue of organizing freight transport near the borders should be resolved in some civilized way.At least put a couple of portable toilets and garbage cans, would you?
