Cyprus police have launched an extensive campaign aimed at preventing serious traffic accidents and improving road safety across the island.
This initiative, running from June 1 to September 30, will see law enforcement officers actively monitoring all road users for compliance with essential safety rules. This includes not only car drivers, but also motorcyclists, moped riders, cyclists, and pedestrians. The police believe that the summer period usually sees an increase in traffic accidents, including fatal ones, which is why a crackdown has been scheduled during the busy tourist season.
The Cyprus police have emphasized that the Road Service officers will focus on issuing fines for the following violations:
Reckless driving
Failure to wear a proper protective helmet
Talking on the phone while driving
Absence of a muffler on vehicles
Modifications to cars or motorcycles without proper permits
Speeding
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Driving without a valid driver’s license
Driving at night without headlights
In addition to these checks, all vehicles will also be inspected for signs of theft. Special attention will be given to the registration plates of motorcycles and mopeds to ensure they comply with regulations.
It is important to note that traffic violations in Cyprus can result in significant fines. To avoid fines and ensure your trip is as smooth as possible, make sure you follow the local road safety rules.
