Limassol receives grant for traffic safety and low-speed zones

The Limassol Municipality has received a government grant of €29,110 from the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works to implement 20 km/h and 30 km/h speed limit zones in urban areas. The funding was formally handed over to Mayor Yiannis Armeftis by Transport Minister Evy Tsolaki during a road safety campaign held in Limassol on November 7, 2026.

The municipality has already completed the initial phase of the project, which includes establishing a 30 km/h zone in the area west of Anexartisias Street and a 20 km/h zone in the Tzamı Tzeti neighborhood. These interventions involve installing vertical and horizontal signage to ensure drivers are clearly informed when entering restricted-speed areas. Mayor Armeftis noted that these measures aim to make local streets safer for residents, particularly children.

Looking forward, the municipality plans to expand these low-speed zones as part of its broader sustainable urban mobility strategy. Further implementation is currently scheduled for the area east of Anexartisias Street and in the Neapolis district. The project reflects a nationwide effort to reduce traffic speeds and improve general road safety in urban centers.
