Greece Implements New Traffic Code to Enhance Road Safety
Greece has introduced a new Traffic Code aimed at improving road safety by imposing stricter penalties for violations like driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, and using mobile phones while driving. The new regulations include hefty fines, points on the driving behavior system, and digital monitoring of violations. Additionally, a speed limit of 30 km/h has been established in certain areas, while maintaining a 50 km/h limit on multi-lane roads. The changes also facilitate motorcyclists filtering through traffic under specific conditions, reflecting the government’s commitment to reducing road fatalities.
