Algiers – The National People’s Assembly’s Committee on Transportation, Communications, and Telecommunications convened on Wednesday to hear presentations from representatives of the National Gendarmerie, National Security, and Civil Protection regarding the proposed amendments to the traffic law.
According to a statement released by the Assembly, the committee sought expert opinions from these key security and emergency response agencies to ensure the revised legislation effectively addresses current challenges and improves road safety across the nation.
The hearing provided a platform for officers and representatives from each organization to present their perspectives on the draft law. Discussions centered on various aspects, including traffic enforcement strategies, accident response protocols, and the role of each agency in promoting responsible driving habits.
The National Gendarmerie, responsible for traffic control in rural and suburban areas, likely emphasized the need for enhanced resources and updated equipment to combat traffic violations and improve response times in remote locations. The National Security, which oversees traffic management in urban centers, may have focused on strategies to reduce congestion and enhance pedestrian safety in densely populated areas.
Representatives from the Civil Protection likely highlighted the importance of clear protocols for accident response and the need for improved coordination between emergency services to minimize casualties and ensure efficient rescue operations. The committee also explored how the new law can better support the Civil Protection’s efforts to educate the public on road safety and preventative measures.
The input gathered from these agencies will be crucial in shaping the final version of the traffic law, ensuring it is comprehensive, enforceable, and effectively contributes to safer roads for all Algerians. The committee will now deliberate on the presentations and incorporate relevant recommendations into the proposed legislation before it proceeds to the next stage of the legislative process.
DZWatch will continue to monitor the progress of this important legislation and provide updates as they become available.
