Road fatalities in Greece in 2025 presented a significant decrease (21.5%) compared to 2024 figures, according to the provisional ELSTAT and Traffic Police data. This is the result of the intensification of enforcement of helmet wearing and drink-and-drive by the Police together with the new Road Traffic Code in Greece (voted in June and in force since September) which led to an astonishing improvement of driver behaviour and consequently to this very significant reduction or road crash fatalities.

These highly successful initiatives of the Greek Authorities has lead to a record saving of 143 lives: 522 in 2025 in comparison to 665 in 2024. With these results (51 fatalities per million population), Greece is leaving the zone of lowest performance EU countries (64 fatalities per million population), and is approaching the EU average road safety performance (45 fatalities per million population).
