The Regional Authority of Attica is implementing an important intervention to ensure the smooth circulation of vehicles and prevent traffic accidents on the Athens-Sounio coastal avenue. The installation of reflective rubber wings aims to limit the entry of vehicles into oncoming traffic, greatly reducing the rate of accidents. They are being installed as a temporary solution, pending the implementation of the study of medium-term interventions on the Varkiza-Sounio coastal avenue, which provides for the structural separation of the road’s traffic lanes with safety parapets, the construction of roundabouts, sidewalks and other interventions, such as a side separation parking island. The study behind intervention claims that traffic accidents will be reduced by more than 40%. [ATTICA REGIONAL AUTHORITY/AMNA]
