Event Program  

Presentation of the Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering  

The works of upgrating the traffic signs of the road network of NTUA Zografou campus have been completed. A total of 565 regulatory signs of various sizes, 256 new galvanized metal poles, 5 convex mirrors and 150 bollards were installed.

Particulary important is the adoption of 30 km/h speed limit on the entire road network of the NTUA Zografou campus, which will be even stricter around the central squares (20km/h).

The Rectorate of NTUA expressed special thanks to the staff of the Departement of Transportation Planning and Engineering and Prof. George Yannis, Head of the Department for the preparation of the relevant Traffic Study, as well as to all the staff of the Technical Service who who contributed for the implementation of the project.
