Actual news from Hegyvidék
"Cool traffic wardens" in the Hegyvidék. Every motorist may be inadvertently parked irregularly. Anyone who violates the rules risks penalties, but thanks to the new service of the Hegyvidék Municipality, residents of district XII do not have to worry even if they accidentally stopped their vehicle breaching the regulations. Instead of immediate punishment, "Cool traffic wardens", i.e. the employees of the Hegyvidék Law Enforcement, draw the motorist's attention to the violation via text message, so that they can correct their mistake within 15 minutes. To use the service, one needs to register in the e-administration system of the municipality.
