ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) - The Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) Ministry of Interior (MoI) and the Tota Center, the government’s partner for traffic affairs, took part in the Intertraffic Amsterdam exhibition to present a points system for drivers and traffic officers and a program for training drivers to modern and international standards, according to the MoI Announcement.
Intertraffic is held every two years in the Dutch capital and brings together traffic science and transport technology from more than 140 countries. The organizers say the 2026 edition, held March 10 to 13, drew more than 900 exhibitors, over 30,000 visitors and more than 300 knowledge sessions.
The Announcement said the exhibition gathers traffic and transport specialists from around the world and presents traffic systems and solutions to protect road users, with ideas turned into solutions for infrastructure and traffic management. It said the General Directorate of Traffic and the Tota Center also took part in a Paris fleet-management event, Flotauto, devoted to improving road safety and vehicle services and bringing together hundreds of exhibitors and car brands. Flotauto Paris was held on March 12 at Paris Le Bourget, according to the organizers.
In Paris, the delegation met the head of the French national ACF network, which the Announcement described as the largest and oldest road-safety education and training institution in France, to coordinate work with the Tota Center.
The ACF head praised the KRG for steps that have reduced deaths and injuries in traffic accidents, according to the text.
MoI said the activities built bridges between the Kurdistan Region and European countries, research centers and universities, and fit the KRG’s vision of digital transformation and sustainable development. The KRG interior ministry’s chief of staff, Hemin Mirani, said last year that road deaths and injuries had fallen by 60 percent over five years, which he attributed mainly to point-to-point speed cameras, according to Iraqi media.
The Region started electronic vehicle registration and annual renewals in September.
