Why do the police do nothing about the illegally parked cars? I live near one of the largest car parks in Limassol and it is never full, yet cars litter the street next to it. Also along the sea road the road becomes one lane because of the illegally parked cars. There is ample parking in the Molis car parks. I often see the police giving tickets to the cars that do not pay in the car parks, but never see the cars causing chaos in the streets getting tickets. Is this the situation throughout the island or is Limassol the only city plagued with incompetent police?

Wow, Somedays I can't even get into my garage because of cars blocking the entrance. I do live in the town center though.

Molos is one lane street for many years now
But the worse is near DIOMITI take away... cars going towards Bodyline traffic lights have to redirect to a lane of incoming traffic. But on the other hand, there is not much done to provide ppl with parking spaces etc...

I agree that Diomides is very dangerous, but they do a great chicken! I don't see why the city can't use part of the three meter wide pavement to put some parking in. To busy sitting on their a$$e$ drinking coffee I guess.

Same here I learnt the hard way its cheaper parking right bang in the middle of a road than creeping onto the pavement.

It seems to me that people in Limassol like to park *right* outside where they are going. If a legal space is a couple of metres away, or on the side road right next to where you are going, then that is no good. I mean who walks (well, not on these pavements anyways...)???? Gotta love the attitude. Especially when you see 4 or 5 cars all over the pavement (like 2 metres in, and just by the door) outside a Sigma and at least that number of free spaces on the road. Most amusing.

Don't the police directly get the money or something? Honestly on my street alone the police would make a fortune for crapply parked cars and morons driving at 10 times the speed limit in their shopping trolleys. Well they would if they actually gave a monkeys.
