Traffic regulations
The route of the tractors through the urban fabric is estimated to be through Athens Avenue, Karaiskaki Square and Omonia Square, to βclimbβ Panepistimito towards the Syntagma.
The first mass βrendezvousβ is estimated to be the one at Omonia Square at 5:30 p.m., so that they will then gradually arrive at Syntagma Square and the Parliament at 6:30 p.m.
In order to avoid a traffic βheart attackβ in the center of Athens, ELAS will proceed during the day with vehicle traffic modifications, with:
- temporary stoppage of traffic on Athens Avenue, Achilleos, Karaiskaki square
- opposite traffic flow of tractors on Agios Konstantinou Street, Omonoia Square and Panetisopitu to the Syntagma
- temporary stoppage of traffic around Omonia square
- traffic stop on Amalia Avenue, Panepistimiou Avenue, Vasilissis Sofia Avenue and all perpendicular streets
- traffic stop on Vasilissis Sofias Avenue from the height of the Parliament (flow of the descent to Sekeri)
- traffic flow from the Academy only to the rise of the Empress Sophia
Corresponding modifications based on the above will be made to the routes operated by buses and trolleys on these streets and avenues.
The subway, electric and tram trains have not been announced until Tuesday morning that they will be affected and will run normally.
