New amendments to Georgia’s parking laws have clearly defined the duties of towing companies in Georgia's capital Tbilisi.
Today Georgia’s Parliament adopted several amendments that will regulate the rights of tow companies and strictly outline situations when cars can legally be towed.
From June 15, vehicles that are deemed to be parking in ways that could cause an accident, promote traffic jams or hamper pedestrian access will be towed and temporarily stored in special penalty parking areas.
Furthermore, vehicles that do violate the law but don’t break the rules mentioned above will only be given a 10 GEL fine.
The current law states all parked cars that violate traffic rules (minor or major) will be taken to penalty areas by C.T. Park, the company responsible for providing parking and towing services in Tbilisi.
In this case drivers must pay a 70 GEL fine to get their cars returned after being towed.
Meanwhile another change to the city’s parking legislation obliged local officials or an authorised person to ensure that owners of towed vehicles can access information about their missing vehicle via hotline or text message.
A multi-level parking system is earmarked to be built in Georgia's capital city Tbilisi that will be a direct competitor of City Park, a company that currently provides parking and similar services in Tbilisi.
A new study in Georgia’s capital has revealed alarming data showing Tbilisi drivers frequently violate road rules, and increasing numbers of fatalities on Tbilisi roads.
This month the Tbilisi Mayor’s Office plans to announce a tender for private companies to come up with a way to resolve the major issue of lack of parking in Tbilisi.
Tbilisi City Hall has today announced plans to build 10 multi-level parking buildings in Georgia's capital city to ease traffic woes and resolve parking issues on central city streets.
Parking in Georgia’s capital of Tbilisi will soon become easier as ten new multi-level parking areas will be constructed to ease traffic and resolve parking issues on the streets.
The Georgian Parliament has approved traffic security legislation changes which will see a demerit points system be introduced in the country from July 1.
Georgia’s Interior Ministry announced today that the cost of a fine for traffic violations, detected by special cameras, would decrease by 20 percent if a driver pays the fine within 10 calendar days.
People in Tbilisi will pay an hourly fee for parking starting 1 July.
