The government presented [1], [2] its plan to install 1,388 Traffic Police cameras at 100 key locations in Attica, with a similar proposal expected for Thessaloniki.

The plan includes major roads such as Amalias Avenue, Kifisias Avenue, Alexandras Avenue, Vasilissis Sofias Avenue, Syngrou Avenue, and Markopoulou Avenue.

The cameras will record speed violations, traffic light and crosswalk offenses, failure to use seat belts or helmets, illegal mobile phone use, and emergency lanes. They will also verify vehicle inspection and insurance compliance.

To address concerns about personal data protection, it was announced that only the rear of the vehicle will be recorded, ensuring that passengers remain unseen.

When a violation is detected, the individual will receive an SMS notifying them that their case is under review by the police. Officers will examine the camera footage and digitally issue the fine, with the option to file an electronic appeal.

“Once you are registered in the national communication registry, you will receive an SMS informing you that you are being checked for a violation. At the same time, the material—photos and videos—will be sent to the Hellenic Police (EL.AS.), where an officer will confirm the violation,” explained Minister of Digital Governance Dimitris Papastergiou.

The presentation was conducted by Christos Staikouras, the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport; Michalis Chrysochoidis, the Minister of Citizen Protection; Dimitris Papastergiou, the Minister of Digital Governance; and Nikos Hardalias, the Regional Governor of Attica.
