Greece: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.
Kamatero has one driving restriction on our books: the «Την έγκριση της κανονιστικής απόφασης σχετικά με την απαγόρευση της… (heavy vehicle ban). What is a heavy vehicle ban?

Kamatero is the northern half of the municipality of Άγιοι Ανάργυροι - Καματερό, on the western edge of the Athens basin under Mount Aigaleo.
On 1 June 2022 the Αποκεντρωμένη Διοίκηση Αττικής gazetted its approval of the town council's regulatory decision 287/2020, and the whole operative clause is one sentence: «Την έγκριση της κανονιστικής απόφασης σχετικά με την απαγόρευση της εισόδου σε οχήματα ωφέλιμου φορτίου άνω του 1,5 τόνου στην οδό Γρηγορίου Αυξεντίου στη Δ.Κ.Κ.» — no entry, on οδός Γρηγορίου Αυξεντίου, for vehicles whose payload exceeds 1.5 tonnes. 🚨 THE THRESHOLD IS PAYLOAD, AND THAT IS NOT THE USUAL QUESTION. «Ωφέλιμο φορτίο» is the load a vehicle is rated to carry, not what the vehicle weighs empty and not what it weighs loaded.
Every other weight-based record in this corpus is keyed to gross weight — Agios Nikolaos and Sifnos both say «συνολικού βάρους» — and a van rated to carry 1.6 tonnes can have a gross weight well under 3.5. 🚫 So do not convert this figure into a gross-weight figure, and do not read a 3.5-tonne habit into it.
The act asks one question and it asks it about the payload line on the vehicle's papers. ⚠️ AND THE HIGHWAY CODE HAS NO SIGN FOR THAT QUESTION. Measured on ν.
5209/2025 on 2026-09-25: article 7 §3 defines Ρ-21 by width, Ρ-22 by height, Ρ-23 by «συνολικού βάρους», Ρ-24 by «βάρους ανά άξονα» and Ρ-25 by length, and the tonnage plate under Ρ-13 is defined as «το μέγιστο επιτρεπόμενο βάρος του οχήματος ή του συνδυασμού οχημάτων» — maximum permissible weight. The string «φέλιμ» does not occur anywhere in the 476 629 characters of the Code this project can read.
The municipality has therefore made a rule whose measure its national sign catalogue does not carry, and the act does not say which sign will stand on the street. That is why this record prices no fine (see `penalty`) and why the practical advice below is to read the sign on the post rather than to trust the tonne figure to appear on it.
