As a result of the study of one of the cases, the Public Defender identified a systemic flaw in the implementation of public administration. In particular, it has been established that LEPL Tbilisi Municipality Transport and Urban Development Agency imposed liability provided for by legislation on individuals for stopping vehicles at pedestrian and cyclist crossings or closer than 5 meters in front of them in such a way that no appropriate device was used to measure this distance and/or the Agency did not have appropriate methodology.

As a result of such flawed administration, decisions on imposing liability on individuals were made without appropriate examination of circumstances.

The Agency considered the proposal of the Public Defender and, according to the information provided by them, the Agency will ensure the introduction of the possibility of measuring the distance between a pedestrian and cyclist crossing and a vehicle stopped in front of it by using a special device. According to the Public Defender, this will ensure that the circumstances of the cases of a number of individuals are properly examined and justified and lawful decisions are made in the future.
