On Saturday, February 28, emergency traffic regulations will be implemented in central Athens in light of planned gatherings commemorating the third anniversary of the railway tragedy in Tempi. The local police, GADA, has announced that these regulations will be applied gradually, depending on the prevailing conditions throughout the day.

The Hellenic Police (EL.AS) is advising drivers to avoid traveling through and parking in the broader road network of central Athens to mitigate additional traffic issues that might arise. This advisory reflects an understanding of the potential disruptions caused by the large number of people expected to gather for the event. The police urge all motorists to comply with the guidance of traffic officers present on the roads.

This gathering represents a significant moment for those affected by the tragedy, reminding the public of the event's impact and the ongoing discussions around safety and accountability in Greece’s rail system. As the memories of the tragedy linger, these regulations are a necessary precaution to ensure the safety and smooth flow of both the commemorative activities and regular traffic in the area.
