Police today started placing officers at traffic lights and intersections with heavy traffic congestion in Nicosia.

Traffic officers will also be at the CyBC traffic lights, Strovolos Avenue, Archbishop Kyprianos Avenue and at the Presidential Palace roundabout after 3:00pm every afternoon.

According to philenews, citizens reported that in certain areas, the measure has already led to a decrease of up to 20 minutes in their commute time.
