Relevant working group is discussing amendments to car towing services regulations, directed at decreasing the traffic load.
According to the amendments being discussed, we made brief information session with Traffic Police Department, Traffic Coordination Division, Colonel B.Batbold.
"Residents have been complainig about car towing services constatnly. Particularly, car was towed when there was a baby inside, during the loading operation car was damaged, car was loaded when it was parked in legal parking and car was loaded due to lack of parking etc. Thus, we are discussing on amendments to car towing regulations.
How to solve parking issue and what vehicles should be loaded are to be specified in renewed car towing regulation", he said.
Moreover, residents complained on fee, which is MNT 55.000, If we look at it closely it includes costs such as payment of workers, fuel of towing car and other taxes.
In the scope of new regulation on car towing, a certain amount of fee will be paid to state due to fees previously are being paid to only private enterprises and not the state.
Traffic Police Department has been cooperating on car towing service with private enterprises since 1990 due to lack of loading and transporting trucks. Previously, such services were mostly used for vehicles that had accident or to tow vehicles with drunk drivers. Since 2012, towing services are being used for vehicles, which are parked illegally and blocking others, flow of traffic, in order to reduce the road load and consequently the traffic jam. Thus, Loading and Regulating Department was established at Traffic Management Center.
Currently, 83 car towing trucks of 13 enterprises are operating.
