The new Greek Road Traffic Code introduces city-wide 30 km/h speed limit in all urban streets of one or two directions with a single lane per direction, making Greece the second EU country after Spain to implement such a measure. A bold move of the Greek Government towards a new road safety culture, with a brand-new Road Traffic Code link with the active contribution of National Technical University of Athens:

  • rationalising and simplifying penalties, linking them to offences’ seriousness & magnitude,
  • punishing drivers instead of vehicles, especially recidivists,
  • introducing two-wheelers filtering & advance stopping zones,
  • expanding calm driving with city-wide 30km/h speed limits,
  • and getting ready for wide deployment of cameras and fines digital management.
