The Greek government is launching a new digital system that will deliver traffic fines directly to drivers' smartphones, replacing the current slow-moving paper-based process.
The system will be powered by a new network of nearly 1,400 smart traffic cameras being installed nationwide.
The cameras can automatically detect a range of violations, including running red lights, using a mobile phone while driving, and failing to wear a seat belt or helmet.
Once a violation is detected and verified by police, a fine will be issued electronically and sent to the driver's personal inbox within the gov.gr Wallet app.
The Ministry of Digital Governance also plans to send an immediate SMS notification.
Officials said the new system will improve road safety and transparency by ensuring quick enforcement, a significant change from the current system where paper fines can take years to be delivered.
