An Invite to Stroll in Yambol

Doesn't this just want to make you want to stroll along? And that was exactly what we did, take a stroll along the tree and cafe lined promenade without a care in the world. The only sound was people talking, how refreshing to be in the centre of a town and not be affected by traffic! We do this as often as we can and it costs nothing but time and having time is all here.

According to earlier reports, the trial was scheduled to begin in October.

The two defendants are the owner of the carrier company, Slavi Slavov and the driver, Gospodin Gospodinov. Slavov is charged with causing death due to recklessness while Gospodinov -with violating traffic laws. The technical probe found that the bus breaks did not work properly and failed. The driver had a 0,66 blood alcohol level and had been driving too fast for the steep terrain. About 50 people are expected to take the witness stand.

A Filled Hole In The Road In Yambol

When Yambol’s roads need repairing and they often do, there is no provision for traffic to be diverted or warned of the work going on. This is a classic example right in the middle of the road. No problem though car that approach just drive on the pedestrian walkway. It works here in Yambol and other town and cities because the cars travel at a snails pace on the side roads die to the condition of the roads and there very little danger of hitting pedestrians, there is enough time to just walk out of their way.

Yambol's North Bazaar Traffic Jams

This is the Yambol's north based bazaar. Over the last couple of years traffic jams and parking problems have arrived and in the last year has seen and massive increase. There was always a place to park and most of the time the streets used to be almost empty two or three years ago. Now you can't move and often get blocked in. It will be only a short matter of time for parking fees to be introduced here, but the car has become the more important than anything else here.
