The present Thesis aims to investigate the perceptions and acceptance of the new Greek Road Traffic Code among Greek travelers. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire with targeted questions, which was completed by 800 travelers. Subsequently, binomial logistic regression and elasticity models were developed for Greece as a whole, for Attica, and for the other Regions of Greece. The results showed that acceptance is influenced by specific factors such as gender, age group, violations related to excessive speed, attitude toward behavioral change, hours of driving per week, as well as the belief that the 30 km/h measure within residential areas will reduce road accidents. The findings indicated that the majority of Greek drivers show a tendency to accept the new Road Traffic Code. However, this acceptance is not homogeneous. It varies depending on age, gender, driving experience, history of violations, and especially attitudes and perceptions regarding the effectiveness of the measures. Through data analysis, it was observed that women, particularly those aged 34–44, demonstrate a higher level of acceptance of the new Road Traffic Code, while travelers with greater driving experience and a higher tendency to commit violations appear more negative. At the same time, those who directly perceive the benefits of the 30 km/h measure within residential areas also show a higher probability of accepting the new Road Traffic Code. Overall, the results indicate that acceptance of the new Road Traffic Code is shaped by a combination of demographic characteristics, driving behavior, and perceptions regarding the effectiveness of the implemented measures.
