The A24 motorway is a partial controlled-access highway and limited-access road in northern Greece. The A24 runs from Thessaloniki to Nea Moudania,[1] starting as a short motorway spur from the A2 Egnatia Odos motorway to the junction with the Thessaloniki Inner Ring Road at the neighbourhood of Efkarpia: the A24 continues as a limited-access expressway, following the Inner Ring Road towards Kalamaria, before turning off south towards Nea Moudania and Kallithea on the Chalkidiki peninsula.

Nea Diagonios
Nea Diagonios is an unnumbered national road in central and southern Thessaloniki: it used to run between Thessaloniki and Nea Moudania, before the A24 took over the section south of Foinikas.[4] Today, Nea Diagonios is about 8.35 kilometres (5.19 miles) long,[5] and runs between Dimokratias Square in the city centre and junction 12 of the Thessaloniki Inner Ring Road near Foinikas, following the Egnatia and Konstantinou Karamanli streets.[6]
Nea Diagonios was created by Ministerial Decision DMEO/e/O/1308 of 15 December 1995,[4] and was numbered the EO105γ for statistical purposes by the National Statistical Service of Greece (ESYE) in 1998.[7]
