Limassol has 20 and 30 km/h zones. The city plans to expand them.

Limassol received €29,110 in funding for 20 and 30 km/h speed limit zones. The grant covers changes already made in the city center, and the city is preparing to expand the 30 km/h zones to other areas.

A 30 km/h zone west of Anexartisias Street and a 20 km/h zone in the Tzami Tzentit area are in place. Further measures are planned for the areas east of Anexartisias and the Neapoli district.

Where do lower speed limits apply?

The restrictions apply to designated areas of the city. Work on the 30 km/h zone has been completed west of Anexartisias, while a 20 km/h limit has been implemented in the Tzami Tzentit area.

The changes include road signs and markings on the roadway. These are designed to clearly inform drivers when they are entering an area where they need to slow down.

Naples and the eastern part of the city center are planned

The expansion of the 30 km/h zones is part of a broader plan to change urban transport. It covers areas east of Anexartisias and Neapoli.

There is no date given for the launch of the next zones or a full list of streets that will be covered by them. The announcement of the extension does not mean that the 30 km/h limit is already in force in the entire Naples district.

For drivers, the most important thing is the signage placed along the roads and at the entrances to individual zones.

Over 29,000 euros for a quieter lifestyle

The funding comes from a ministry program supporting the creation of 20 and 30 km/h zones. Mayor Yiannis Armeftis received the funding from Transport Minister Evi Tsolaki on Saturday, November 7, during an event dedicated to road safety.

The city is participating in the program through investments that have already been made. Therefore, the grant is intended to support the changes already implemented, not to announce the introduction of all restrictions from the new date.

More time for pedestrians

Lower speeds are intended to improve the safety of everyday journeys: a child walking to school, an elderly person crossing the road, or cycling to work.

The mayor also emphasized the needs of parents traveling with strollers. He believes that these simple, short routes demonstrate whether the city serves its residents well.

The zones are intended to reduce the risk of collisions and improve traffic conditions in the city center and residential areas. Particular attention was paid to those most at risk of injury from contact with cars—pedestrians and cyclists.
