As part of the prevention of road collisions, combating the phenomenon of nuisance and fostering a sense of road safety, police traffic controls continued last night and in the early hours of today, throughout the country.
Specifically, during the checks carried out by members of the ¨Z¨ team in Limassol, by members of the Headquarters Traffic Police, (OPOD Avdimou and EOMO Headquarters) on the motorway, as well as members of the Nicosia Traffic Police in Nicosia, a total of 270 complaints for various traffic offences were made.
Also in Limassol, 12 large capacity motorcycles and a car were seized, while a 27-year-old man was found to be driving a motorcycle without a driver's licence, without a safety certificate and carrying a passenger without a valid licence. The 27-year-old also tested positive in a preliminary drug test.
The Cyprus Police places particular emphasis on road safety, with the aim of reducing road collisions, injuries, and loss of life on the road network. Daily traffic controls and continuous public information are aimed at cultivating and consolidating road awareness. In order to achieve this objective, it is essential for everyone to make a contribution, either through the action of the competent bodies and organised associations, or individually on the part of all those who use and travel on the road network.
Key factors are compliance with the road traffic code and compliance with traffic signals, the suitability of vehicles, while factors that have been proven to contribute to road traffic collisions, such as violation of the speed limit, non-use of seat belts, child seats, protective helmets, the use of mobile phones while driving, etc.
