Post by Paphos Life »

No public use of a dangerous forest road in the virgin area of Akamas will be allowed after the operation of the National Forest Park of Akamas in 2022, Philenews reports.Three recent fatal traffic accidents were recorded on the picturesque road from Aphrodite???s Baths to ???Blue Lagoon??? beach. Most people go there on three-wheel bikes and buggy mobiles....

A lot of people use that road perfectly safely to visit Blue Lagoon and go fishing in remote areas. Surely the solution is to ban ATVs and buggies, as they are the things that people are killed in, aren't they?

I would agree with that, the times I've drove along there I've had Quads and Buggie's pushing to get past us. It should be slow and steady along there.

Imagine not being able to switch it off in an emergency though.

Ok so the latest gadgets are not available yet but anyone noticed in Dominics videos he slowed down when confronted with a speed hump. The bane of our ass over here but works Guess some buggy drivers might see them as a challenge & give a high five as they sail through

Having a camera on the roof tends to dampen the need for speed. :)
