Μeasures, regarding the protection of pedestrians and the disabled, appear to be taken by the Mayor of Zakynthos, who, with his announcement, informs the all within Zakynthos that the planned actions to deal with the unresolved parking for the safety of citizens will be intensified with the imposition of fines.
Specifically, with a letter to the Traffic Police Department of Zakynthos and the Port Authority of Zakynthos and a mandate to the Municipal Police – due to the city of Zakynthos being an inhospitable area for pedestrians, as many of our fellow drivers park their vehicles improperly by parking on pedestrians ramps and sidewalks, especially in areas that are provided for mothers with children (in prams) and disabled people (for wheel chairs)- calls for the direct cooperation of all services for the compliance of drivers.
In particular, during the hours of 10:00 – 12:00 and in the afternoons, systematic checks will be carried out, mainly in areas with increased traffic, such as on the streets of: Venizelos, Alexandros Rome, Foskolou and Filitas. The abovementioned services notified in the document are kindly requested to take the necessary measures to deal with this serious problem.
We recall that offensive and outrageous images are still visible in public areas and sidewalks of the city, and which in no way fit into a place that calls itself “civilized”.
Everyone is talking about the development of Zakynthos, the Master Plan of the harbor, roads and road safety, the rubbish, but they have never thought that a walk in the city and its outskirts is enough to see how troubled a citizen or a visitor who moves in it. The traffic on the sidewalks is judged to be problematic to impossible since a number of obstacles discourage traffic: goods, parked cars, bicycles ,motorbikes, stairs, flowerpots, stands, table and chairs, columns and anything else that is unlikely and impossible for one to imagine, rival all that what would more or less effectively be an obstacle and prevent a pedestrian.
We have been underlining the same problem for several years, but we observe daily that the rights of people with disabilities are being tampered with by the citizens in an ugly way. The fact that every sign for people with disabilities is occupied by an unconscious driver is considered unacceptable and extremely outrageous.
