Abela said that this must indicate traffic caused by road accidents, saying that if we manage to fix the rapidity with which traffic accidents are addressed, traffic can be reduced.

The Prime Minister said that there authorities sometimes take too much time to address an accident – compiling evidence and removing the vehicles involved from the road.

Abela said that this year the government aims to implement a strategy which manages to clear accident sights as quickly as possible to reduce the volume of traffic.
