The Hellenic Police is implementing increased road safety measures throughout the territory in view of the May 21 parliamentary elections, to facilitate citizens’ movements, as well as to prevent traffic accidents.

The measures are being developed gradually from Friday, May 19 until Monday, May 22 and will escalate – peak during the hours – days of mass exit-entry of vehicles, to and from major urban centers.

As pointed out in the relevant announcement: “The Hellenic Police, once again reminds all drivers and road users that road safety is everyone’s business”.

In this context, ELAS recommends to citizens:

– Before traveling to perform a technical check on their vehicle and to be informed about the state of the road network and weather conditions.
