Greece: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.
Kissamos has one driving restriction on our books: the «Έγκριση της αριθμ. 122/2015 απόφασης του Δημοτικού Συμβουλίου Κισσάμου… (limited traffic zone). What is a limited traffic zone?

Κίσσαμος — the town the act calls Καστέλι — sits at the north-west corner of Crete, an hour west of Chania and the ferry port for Kythira and the Peloponnese. One of its streets becomes a pedestrian street every summer evening. From 1 June to 30 September, every day, between six in the evening and midnight, no vehicle of any kind may use οδός Αναγνώστου Σκαλίδη.
The measure is decision 122/2015 of the municipal council of Δήμος Κισσάμου, approved by the acting Γενικός Γραμματέας of the Αποκεντρωμένη Διοίκηση Κρήτης at Ηράκλειο on 19 May 2016 and gazetted the following June. 🔑 THIS IS THE CLEANEST GREEK CLOSURE IN THIS CORPUS, AND THAT IS WORTH SAYING PLAINLY.
Its operative part is one sentence and it settles in that sentence every question the corpus's other Greek acts leave open. It names the street — most of them do not. It writes «για κάθε έτος», of each year, so the annual return is a quotation and not a reading.
And it says what the street becomes: «ώστε αυτή να λειτουργεί ως πεζόδρομος» — so that it functions as a pedestrian street. 🔑 THAT LAST CLAUSE IS ALSO WHAT PRICES IT. The Greek Highway Code has no tariff for disobeying a municipal closure as such; what it has is a tariff for driving on a πεζόδρομος.
Most acts in this set never use the noun, and this corpus has had to reason its way to it — or, on the Φιλιάτες page, to publish no figure at all. Here the authority writes the word itself. ⚠️ ONE NUMBER IN THIS ACT IS NOT A FINE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE ONE.
The eighteenth recital records «δαπάνη διακοσίων πενήντα ευρώ (250 €)» — a cost of two hundred and fifty euro, met from the municipality's own budget under account 30-7135.003. That is what the signs cost the council. It is not what anything costs a driver. 🚫 And no drawing is published.
The act approves signing «σύμφωνα με τα προβλεπόμενα στην τεχνική έκθεση και τα σχέδια που έχουν προσκομιστεί» — according to the technical report and the plans that have been submitted — and neither is in the gazette. Measured on 2026-09-28: the eight-page issue contains no image object at all.
