The participants in the event discussed the working out of a decision-taking mechanism on allocating resources for the road safety in 2022.     

The participants in the meeting tackled the subject on identifying sectors with high risk of traffic accidents, Black Point, with considering possibility of earmarking financial means for their removing.   

To enhance the traffic safety, Black Point road signs will be set, which show that at least five serious traffic accidents resulting in at least five casualties occurred in the concerned area.
