• The rule applies on working days (Mon-Thu from 7 am-8pm, Fri from 7 am-3pm) and applies to cars with a Greek registration number. Cars with a foreign registration number and Greek rental cars are exempt from the rule for the first forty days.
• Cars may remain parked on consecutive days, but the prohibition must be taken into account when moving the car.
• In the event of a smog alarm, the dactylius can be enlarged and completely closed to cars. This measure is announced in advance in the media and also applies to foreign cars.
• The dactylius is indicated by signs (blue with in the middle the red-framed yellow area with a delta Δ in it).
