The main road network includes two lanes with parking spaces on both sides (parallel parking), paved sidewalks, green lanes on both sides, a 2.60 m wide bicycle lane on the right side of the road, pedestrian crossings and bus stop bays. A new roundabout will be built on the last 250 metres or so of Kappari Avenue. The secondary road network consists of two lanes with sidewalks. In Yiorki Papadopoulou Street, a bicycle lane is also being constructed on the north side of the road.
