Attitude towards road safety in Cyprus is costing lives
The roads in Cyprus have dangerous conditions, with cars and motorcycles driving at excessive speeds and not following traffic rules. The country has a higher rate of fatalities on urban roads and amongst pedestrians compared to other EU countries. The main issues contributing to the problem are problematic training, lack of respect for other road users, and lack of traffic rule enforcement.
