Forty-eight locations have been identified across Cyprus with a high number of fatal, serious and other road collisions and are increasing surveillance and enforcement measures to improve road safety, police said on Wednesday.

Police said the locations were mapped as part of ongoing efforts to analyse collision data and implement targeted measures aimed at reducing road accidents.

The classification of each site as a high-risk area was based on the number of road collisions recorded annually.

Analysis of data covering the period from 2023 to 2025 revealed 48 collision hotspots across the island.

19 are in Nicosia district, 14 in Larnaca, eight in Limassol, five in Paphos and two in Famagusta.

Police said increased patrols and monitoring will be carried out at the identified locations to reduce risks and improve compliance with traffic regulations.

All relevant government departments and services have been informed of the findings so that any necessary interventions or infrastructure improvements can also be considered, authorities added.

Police urged drivers to remain vigilant, obey traffic laws and exercise personal responsibility to help improve safety for all road users.
