Crackdown on Illegal Motorbike Parking: Major Operation Clears Athens Streets

A large-scale operation aimed at clearing illegal motorbike parking in central Athens has been carried out by the Athens Municipal Police in collaboration with the Athens Traffic Police.

The initiative, launched on November 5, 2024, is part of ongoing efforts to reclaim public spaces and improve traffic safety.

During the operation, a total of 19 motorbikes were removed using a crane operated by the Traffic Police. The Municipal Police recorded 20 violations, while the Traffic Police cited three offences. This marks the fourth such operation since the initiative began on October 17, with previous actions taking place on October 22 and November 1.

Since the start of the campaign, 76 motorbikes have been removed from public spaces, and 74 violations of illegal parking have been documented. The Municipality of Athens has emphasised its commitment to continuing these weekly operations in order to improve accessibility and safety on the city’s streets.
