Limassol receives government funding for low-speed urban traffic zones

On Saturday, November 7, 2026, the Cypriot Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works announced a grant of €29,110 to the Municipality of Limassol. The funds were formally presented by Minister Evi Tsolaki to Mayor Giannis Armeftis during a road safety campaign held in the city. The grant is part of a broader national initiative aimed at reducing traffic speeds to improve urban road safety and promote sustainable mobility.

The municipality has already implemented speed reduction measures, including the establishment of a 30 km/h zone in the area west of Anexartisias Street and a 20 km/h zone in the Cami Cedit district. These interventions involved the installation of vertical and horizontal road signage to enforce the new speed limits.

Looking ahead, the city plans to expand these low-speed zones as part of its strategic urban mobility framework. Future developments include extending the 30 km/h zones to the area east of Anexartisias Street and the Neapoli district, further integrating traffic calming measures throughout the urban center.
