Bulgarian cities have implemented various traffic and parking restrictions to manage urban movement. In Sofia, Plovdiv, and Stara Zagora, temporary measures were introduced to facilitate the transport of election materials for presidential and vice-presidential elections. These included parking bans and street closures in specific districts to allow for the distribution of election books.

Separately, infrastructure repairs on Bulgaria Boulevard in Plovdiv necessitated a four hour suspension of northbound traffic to replace damaged traffic light equipment and lighting fixtures. This repair work resulted in the diversion of public bus lines 4 and 16.
