The Greek Police, due to the increased traffic of excursionists, in view of the Easter and May Day 2022 holidaysfrom Friday 15-04-2022 until Tuesday 03-05-2022, takes increased traffic measures throughout the road network of the country, in order to safely move citizens and prevent road accidents.

• Regulation of traffic with pedestrian traffic wardens, at basic intersections, to avoid traffic congestion.
• Establishment of general and special traffic control teams, focusing on the certification of dangerous violations (speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, overtaking, etc.), as well as violations based on statistics that are responsible for causing serious accidents ( use of mobile phones while driving).
• Increased traffic measures in places where there is a mass concentration of passengers (airports, ports, stations, etc.)
• Local traffic regulations, in which festive events will take place.
• Presence of traffic wardens at the Toll Stations of the Country to facilitate traffic, information and advice to drivers and passengers.
• Informing the citizens through the Communication Services, in any case where it becomes necessary to widely inform the public about the existence of any traffic and other problems.
