Bulgarians give low marks to the quality of roads in this country – 3.15 out of 6 (the school grade system in Bulgaria being up to 6), a Gallup survey shows.

The survey was conducted at the beginning of August, weeks before the tragic bus accident near Svoge, in which 17 people were killed.

38 percent of Bulgarians say that the roads in this country have deteriorated in recent years, 30 percent say they see no change, and 27 percent say roads have improved, and 5 percent cannot say. All this paints a picture that is more negative than it is positive.
