New traffic lights are going up on First Street in Nessebar, near the Arda hotel and in the area of the Continental hotels, the municipality said.

Installation began once the street's reconstruction was finished.

The lights at the Continental hotels complete a major municipal project. The approach to the junction, which links the Pyasatsite district and Sunny Beach West with First Street, was widened, and a new street network was built in Pyasatsite.

The aim is to make traffic better organised and safer, and to help cars and pedestrians get around more easily. The municipality says the lights are part of a planned upgrade of roads and transport links, which takes account of growing car traffic and the needs of residents and visitors to Nessebar.

Hundreds of new parking spaces have also been built along First Street.
