The Minister of Interior, Local Authorities, and Transportation, Said Saayoud, presented a draft law containing provisions related to traffic regulations before the People’s National Assembly (APN) earlier today. The proposed legislation aims to update and refine existing traffic laws in Algeria.
According to a statement released by the Ministry, the draft law was the subject of a plenary session specifically dedicated to its presentation and subsequent discussion by members of the APN. The Minister outlined the key aspects of the proposed law, emphasizing its potential impact on road safety and traffic management across the country.
DZWatch understands that the proposed law addresses various aspects of traffic regulations, including but not limited to speeding, driving under the influence, and the use of mobile phones while driving. It is expected to introduce stricter penalties for traffic violations and enhance enforcement mechanisms to ensure greater compliance with traffic laws.
The APN members engaged in a thorough discussion of the draft law, raising questions and providing feedback on its various provisions. The debate focused on the potential benefits and challenges associated with the proposed changes, as well as their implications for drivers, pedestrians, and other road users.
The presentation of this draft law underscores the government’s commitment to improving road safety and reducing traffic accidents in Algeria. It remains to be seen how the APN will proceed with the proposed legislation, but its introduction marks an important step towards modernizing the country’s traffic laws.
DZWatch will continue to monitor the progress of this draft law and provide updates as they become available.
