The city of Athens has recently initiated a traffic regulation that enables vehicle reversal on Amalias Avenue near Vasilissis Olgas, facilitating easier entry to the Plaka district. This change responds to a persistent request from local residents, backed by hundreds of signatures and years of advocacy, illustrating the city’s effort to improve urban mobility. Mayor of Athens, Haris Dukas, emphasized that this action demonstrates the administration's commitment to listening to its citizens and providing solutions that directly impact their daily lives. The newly installed traffic light at the Amalias Avenue location is expected to significantly alleviate traffic problems for residents of Plaka and surrounding areas. With this adjustment, drivers will no longer need to circumvent the entire Syntagma Square, thereby yielding a vital relief for traffic congestion in the city's center. This initiative is described as a substantive intervention essential for enhancing the quality of urban life in Athens, signaling a move towards more effective urban planning and responsiveness to citizen needs.
