Limassol is the island's largest seaside resort and it is the second largest city of Cyprus, with a population of 94.628 inhabitants (year 2001). It is the centre of its wine-making industry, and an important commercial and tourist centre.

According to the SMAP Project, it will be defined a short term action plan and a global action plan. The short term action plan has the following main objectives:
- To carry out and intensive program of pedestrianisation of the Central Business District (CBD).
- To adapt the traffic plan to the new situation and evaluate the improvements that would be achieved in terms of reduction of pollutants emissions due to traffic.
- To optimise the management of the road network of the CBD and its main access roads.

To this effect, the road network resulting of the pedestranisation plan will be tested with the traffic and environmental models, which will allow to measure the impacts of this measure and to define necessary complementary actions according to a global mobility policy, that is, to adapt the parking policy, the public transport policy, etc.

Finally, a global action plan will be defined to continue advancing according to an integrated mobility concept, with the following targets:
- To promote the centrality of the CBD and its economic activities and tourism.
- To promote the sustainable means of transportation (Public Transport – Bicycle – On foot).
- To rationalize and decrease the use of private transport within the CBD.
- To adapt air quality levels to the limits fixed by EU regulations.
- To get Kyoto protocol objectives (CO2 reduction) submitted by EU.
- To reinforce the perimetric ring of the CBD as the main distributor of trips, and optimised the current municipal road network system.
- To define a parking policy with higher fares to regulate the demand and use revenues to invest in the global mobility policy.
