Pedestrians
What a nice way to cross the strait and enjoy the view!
There are protected pedestrian sidewalks on both the West and East side of the Bridge. These can be safely accessed only through the staircases on both the Rion and the Antirion sides.
For your safety, it is not allowed to cross the road or the toll plaza area on foot, nor to walk along traffic areas. When at the toll plaza area, please use the footbridge.
Hitch-hiking is prohibited along the Bridge. If in any difficulty while walking please use the emergency phones in the areas of the pylons (every 560m) in order to contact our personnel for assistance.
Please, make sure that children do not climb on parapets, safety guardrail or cables anchorage.
Bicycles
Bicycles are not allowed to use the Bridge, as their crossing poses great risks to cyclists.
Cyclists travel at a significantly lower speed than other vehicles, hindering the smooth flow of the road and leading to an increased number of overtaking maneuvers.
In addition, on the Bridge they have significant interaction with heavy vehicles (trucks, buses) as they share the right lane. The great difference in the mass of each vehicle and also in the speed it can develop, create serious concerns for their safety.
Finally, the strong winds that are common in the strait can adversely affect the stability of bicycles.
