Baia Mare City Hall was fined by Romanian Police for installing an unauthorized speed limiter featuring metal spikes on a street near the city square. The device was intended to manage traffic flow and reduce congestion in the market area by allowing vehicles traveling in the correct direction to pass while risking tire damage for those driving against traffic. Authorities issued a fine of 4,541.25 lei to the road administrator, citing a lack of necessary permits and stating the installation posed a danger to traffic safety. Police have ordered the immediate removal of the device, amid divided opinions from local residents regarding its safety and utility. Recent reports indicate that the municipality has also faced previous sanctions for installing bicycle lanes without the required proper permits. Law enforcement efforts in the Maramureș region continue to focus on curbing traffic violations, with police conducting checks that have resulted in the seizure of multiple driving licenses and vehicle registration certificates.
