Last Friday, July 31, 2026, a preventive-repressive operation called 'Safe Step for All' was carried out in the area of Dubrovnik, Župa dubrovačka, and Konavle. In just four hours, as reported by the portal Dulist, as many as 70 traffic violations were recorded, with 24 cases of improper parking on sidewalks and three violations of parking in spaces designated for persons with disabilities standing out.

The inspection was jointly conducted by police officers, traffic and municipal wardens, with an emphasis on pedestrian safety and accessibility. The Dubrovnik-Neretva Police Department stated that the main goal of the operation was to act preventively on citizens' awareness.

"The main goal of this activity is to preventively influence citizens' awareness of the importance of respecting traffic regulations and ensuring free and safe pedestrian areas for all road users. Therefore, the police call on all drivers to behave responsibly and consistently comply with regulations so that all pedestrians, especially persons with disabilities, can safely participate in traffic," reads the statement reported by Dulist.

Reader Warns: Tuk-Tuks Block Pile All Day Long

At the same time, there is also a problem with so-called tuk-tuk vehicles used for tourist tours. A reader of Dubrovački vjesnik sent photos and a warning, which was reported by Slobodna Dalmacija, that these vehicles at Pile occupy disabled parking spaces, block the passage to the motorcycle parking in Tiha, and also occupy the parking space intended for stops of up to 10 minutes, where they stay all day.

"If the owners of these vehicles book panoramic tours of Dubrovnik at Pile, what is the purpose of their vehicles being constantly parked? When a tour is booked, drivers can be called to come to Pile to pick up passengers, and that takes 3 minutes," the reader wrote for Dubrovački vjesnik, as reported by Slobodna Dalmacija.

This problem highlights the increasing pressure of tourist vehicles on the already limited traffic infrastructure in the very city center, especially at frequent locations like Pile, where short-term stops often turn into multi-hour occupation of public spaces.
