Automated **traffic enforcement** powered by so-called **"smart cameras"** is now fully operational across Attica. The system has completed its initial testing phase and transitioned to regular operations. If you are planning a **car rental in Greece** or driving through **[Athens](https://grandpl.com/en/greece/articles/category/travel/subcategory/athens/) and the surrounding areas**, here is what you need to know about the latest traffic enforcement measures.  

Thousands of Traffic Fines and an Automated System
--------------------------------------------------

Government officials confirmed that approximately **4,000 traffic tickets** have already been issued to drivers for **traffic violations** captured by **new speed cameras and traffic sensors** installed at key locations throughout **Attica**. All technical glitches from the initial rollout phase have been resolved, and the system is operating smoothly.

Notably, during the early calibration phase, appeals were accepted for only 0.7% of registered citations while operators were learning the system. Today, processing errors have been virtually eliminated. Citations for violating **traffic rules in Greece** are fed directly into a centralized database, which automatically processes and mails out violation notices.  

Bus Lane Cameras and AI Tech Pilot Programs
-------------------------------------------

Greece is continuing to expand its traffic monitoring footprint. Preparations are underway for a pilot program featuring two advanced **AI-powered traffic cameras** . These smart cameras can detect **multiple traffic violations simultaneously**. The network is set to expand significantly once the public procurement process is finalized.

Dedicated bus lanes are another key enforcement priority. While accidentally pulling into one is easy to do, enforcement is strict. Drivers face a steep **bus lane fine in Athens** if caught by the **cameras mounted on city buses -**violations are currently monitored by 10 specialized units installed directly on public transit vehicles.

Keep these rules in mind during your **road trip in Greece** to avoid unexpected fines, stay compliant with local **speed limits and driving laws**, and enjoy a hassle-free trip!
