Speed limit cut to 30-20km/h in new law

It was published in the Government Gazette on Friday

The decision of the Deputy Minister of Environment and Energy, Mr. Dimitris Oikonomou, published in the Government Gazette on Friday, June 19, provides for a reduction in the speed limit to 30 kilometres or even 20 km per hour.

The decision is an important step in order to make the roads more friendly to pedestrians and cyclists in terms of safety, pollution and noise. It is also a prerequisite for the road to function as a common use for vehicles and cyclists as well as for pedestrians. Therefore, with the establishment of a speed limit of 30 or 20 km / h on a road, pedestrians and cyclists will have space.
