Changes will be introduced gradually over the next few years
The Cypriot town of Limassol is planning and already working on changes to its road network to reduces congestion made by private vehicles. Planned measures include encouraging use of public transport and raising parking fees in the downtown of Limassol.
According to the plan for sustainable urban transport in Limassol, the changes will be introduced gradually over the next few years with a final completion in 2030.
The basic principle of the study is to lead to a fundamental change in the use of private vehicles to cover transportation needs. Currently, the car is considered by the biggest percentage of people as the most suitable form of transportation accounting 91.8% of the total. Buses account for only 1.8%, walking for 5.7% and bicycles for barely 0.7%.
Residents of Limassol do not even try to change their thinking of transportation within the city, although problems such as accidents, emissions and traffic jams get worse and the population increases while space for vehicles remains the same.
Regarding the parking zones, the plan is not to provide more spaces, because the aim is to reduce the use of private cars and increase the use of public transport. Instead, parking fees will rise - doubling and even tripling. The closer the parking area is to the centre of town the higher the rate will be.
What are the reasons for that and are there any possible solutions for that problem?
