Algeria is implementing new measures to combat a dramatic increase in road accidents involving buses and trucks. Following drug testing for drivers, the government will soon require the installation of tachographs – devices monitoring driving time and behavior – in all heavy goods vehicles and buses. This initiative aims to address issues such as driver fatigue and speeding, major contributors to the rising accident rates. The move comes after a period of increased concern, with a significant number of incidents reported in recent weeks. Authorities hope the mandated tachographs will enhance road safety and accountability within the transportation sector. This represents a further step in Algeria’s efforts to improve its road traffic management and reduce fatalities. The details of the implementation schedule are expected to be announced shortly.
