Cyprus hopes to introduce new traffic regulations to improve road safety and give drivers more flexibility. Key changes include:
- Countdown timers to be installed at traffic lights monitored by cameras to help drivers comply with signals. Authorities have six months to implement this, or fines for running red lights will be suspended.
- Extended deadlines for traffic violations: The prosecution period for offenses captured by traffic cameras has been increased from 30 to 105 days. Additionally, drivers now have 90 days (up from 30) to pay fines before they increase by 50%.
- Penalty points for traffic violations will expire after two years instead of being permanent.
These measures aim to enhance compliance and reduce the financial burden on drivers. Let me know if you’d like more details!
