Central Athens traffic restrictions back in place

Traffic restrictions in central Athens came back into effect on Monday after a three-month hiatus.

Until July 8, 2016, vehicles with license plates ending in even numbers can only enter the downtown area on even days of the month, while vehicles whose license plates end in odd numbers can only do so on odd days.

The restrictions are in place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday and from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays. There are no limits on the weekends.
