The upcoming three-day week-end is expected to trigger increasing traffic across the country, but drive carefully and not very fast, because the number of policemen has been increased to 1,800 for this week-end, so there will be more speed radars on the roads too.

Make sure to avoid the usual traffic jams peaks on the roads connecting Bucharest to the mountain areas and to the seaside.
