The already impossible traffic in Bucharest will become purely hellish during the NATO Summit. In order to avoid as many problems as possible, administration and state employees (except doctors, firemen, ambulance services or such) will have the day off. Bucharest citizens are constantly advised to avoid the Bucharest central areas and, if possible, to leave the city for a short vacation. HotNews.ro presents you with the complete list of restrictions and rules during the summit.

- on Soseaua Bucuresti – Ploiesti, from the airport to Piata Presei Libere, the single lane will comprise the second and third traffic lanes on both ways. Vehicles will be allowed, sideways to the lane, on the first traffic lane on both ways;
