Cyprus joins European week of intensive checks for trucks and buses

Cyprus is set to participate in a week-long pan-European enforcement and awareness campaign targeting truck and bus drivers. The initiative, coordinated by the European Traffic Police Network ROADPOL, will take place from Monday, November 16, to Sunday, November 22, 2026.

During this period, the Cyprus Police, in collaboration with the Department of Road Transport and the Department of Labour Relations, will conduct intensive inspections across the country. Key focus areas include verifying driver and vehicle documentation, monitoring vehicle speed, checking speed-limiting devices, and assessing the mechanical condition of heavy vehicles. Furthermore, authorities will conduct rigorous audits of drivers' working and rest hours, as well as the usage of both analog and digital tachographs.

The police have announced a zero-tolerance policy for traffic violations that contribute to fatal or serious road accidents. This campaign serves as a reminder of the shared responsibility for road safety and urges drivers to comply with all traffic regulations to ensure a secure environment for all road users.
