There is no solution for the traffic in Kifissos or in any city. Traffic is always balanced in congestion. That is why in all cities in Europe, what is now sought is to serve commuters, not vehicles. Thus, trying to find a way to get everyone in their cars around the city is not possible,
The sidewalks in the center of Athens had a specific goal, which seems to always be hindered by the capital's traffic problem. What has been going wrong for years now, and why can't Athens become a modern European city? A city where its center is friendly and accessible for everyone, not just for vehicles after
Of particular interest is the fact that there is a plan to increase the public transport ticket price, while there are no controllers to check those who do not pay for a ticket, this is a particularly contradictory situation. How conflicting they are with each other and how improperly things sometimes operate in Greece? Public
There is no possibility that the problem on Kifissos will be solved at some point, just as it has not been resolved anywhere in Europe. Europe is full of roads like our Kifissos Avenue.

One of the main causes of inconvenience is damages or crashes that result in the closure of one or more lanes for several hours. This significantly burdens the daily traffic. At two points along the Kifissos, permanent Traffic Police crane vehicles with drivers will be stationed, so they can intervene more quickly and directly where

In July 2023, we had a 22.5% increase in road crashes compared to July 2022, demonstrating Greece's poor road safety performance compared to other European countries. Last year, in 2022, our country dropped 2 positions, from the 21st place to the 23rd place in the EU ranking. This fact indeed proves that road safety and
Electric scooters and bicycles are new ways of getting around and we should get used to them. We need to learn that speed is also an issue for these means of transport. Moreover, when speeds of more than 20-25 km/h are reached, we are at high risk of a crash like all other vehicles. Drivers’
"Dead 23-year-old man in a car road crash in Katerini". "A 30-year-old driver dead and two injured in a car road crash in Mesogeion". "Fatal road crash in Trikala with two young people killed". These headlines were written only in the first days of April. These numbers were even more increased in March. At the
After more than 30 years of dedication to road safety science and several Marathon races, I decided to combine both passions for a cause: to run 30 Marathons in 30 months in order to actively promote the adoption of 30km/h speed limit in as many cities as possible worldwide, as a key policy for safer,
