Cyprus transport officials have prioritized addressing traffic congestion through various infrastructure and service improvements. Transport Minister Evantheia Tsolaki announced plans to review proposals such as expanding Park & Ride services and implementing strategic works, including the northern bypass of Limassol and upgrades to the main road network.

However, significant congestion has been reported on primary routes leading to the Troodos Mountains, specifically the Nicosia-Troodos and Limassol-Troodos axes. Heavy traffic during the August 15 holiday period caused bottlenecks in areas like Akaki, Peristerona, and Lania. These incidents have drawn criticism regarding delays in essential road infrastructure projects, such as the Limassol-Saitta road, which remains largely incomplete.
