During a sporting event on public roads, does civil protection staff have the authority to restrict vehicle access?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is yes. Although traffic regulation, management, and surveillance are usually the responsibility of Traffic Agents (Police), regulations allow for exceptions during specific events. In the case of authorized sporting events (such as cycling races or marathons), civil protection staff or authorized auxiliaries may regulate traffic and restrict access, provided they have express authorization from the responsible traffic authority. They act as auxiliary personnel to ensure the safety of the event.
