Hellenic Police road safety and vehicle security measures

Overview

The Hellenic Police have implemented new measures regarding road safety and vehicle security. Initially, the force began deploying portable 3D radar systems designed to monitor up to six lanes of traffic simultaneously. These mobile units are intended to prevent drivers from avoiding fines by memorizing fixed camera locations and are capable of being placed in elevated positions to record violations.

Following these technological deployments, the police issued specific guidance to combat vehicle crime, particularly ‘relay theft.’ This method involves criminals using signal relay boxes to intercept keyless entry signals. To mitigate these risks, authorities have recommended the use of signal-blocking devices and traditional anti-theft tools like steering wheel locks.
