There were 14,988 violations confirmed by the Traffic Police in 62,595 checks carried out by 2,544 traffic control crews, during the three days of October 28 (10/27 to 10/30).

The checks focused mainly on ‘dangerous’ and anti-social traffic offences, which can lead to a serious or even fatal road accident, such as speeding, drink driving, using a mobile phone while driving, violation of a red signal, illegal overtaking, violation of the Emergency Lane (E.L.A.).

In particular, special importance was given to the policing of the Emergency Lane (E.E.A.) and to the prevention of its violation by road users, without an extraordinary and serious reason.

As ELAS points out, indicative of the dimension of the road safety measures taken between 27 and 30 October 2022 is the particularly increased traffic at the entry and exit points from Attica and Thessaloniki.
