Back to newsA road safety project installing smart LED lighting across Greece, including Crete, has been extended through the end of July 2026. The initiative involves upgrading street and road lighting with intelligent LED systems designed to improve visibility and reduce accidents, particularly on rural and intercity roads. The extension gives crews additional time to complete installations across participating regions. For tourists driving in Crete, the project may cause minor disruptions near active installation sites, but the long-term result will be better-lit roads, especially useful for those navigating mountain routes or coastal roads after dark. Drivers are advised to follow local signage in areas where work is ongoing and to exercise caution around construction crews near roadways.
