"Green" StoptheRoadhog project Appeared in Minsk

Activists had the raid on a parking lot on Kiseleva Street.

It is difficult to drive through the rows of cars to say nothing of public transport. When there is no place for vehicles on the asphalt, they park on sidewalks and footpaths, abw.by writes.

Activists of the Green Network took pictures of violations and left notifications on the glass. Drivers had a different reaction.

"We instruct volunteers in advance that it's no need to enter into a conflict. It is necessary to explain that a person parked a car incorrectly, and not to react to his aggression, the event-manager of the Green Network Ksenia Tsyganok says. - After all, the sense of the action to remove incorrectly parked cars. We realistically look at the world and understand that this is unlikely to happen because every day different people come here. However, the same drivers usually park their cars in wrong places because they are not punished. We are not the traffic police and do not fine them or evacuate their cars. We do not aim at punishment. We just want drivers to understand that this place is not desirable for parking, it interferes other people. We are engaged in public censure and we want people to show civic activity not only in Kiselev but also in their own yard. For them to take ours and print their own leaflets and leave them to their careless neighbors in the courtyard. And not only during the "Mobility Week" but do it all the time."

Eco-activists want to calculate how many violations were committed in Kisel within a week including repeated ones to understand whether informing can influence unscrupulous drivers, greenbelarus.info writes. "Green Network" promised to report on results at the end of the working week.
