WARNING to Drivers: Roads May Freeze Over

Although the unfavorable weather conditions that lasted for several days have somewhat stabilized, the consequences of the snow that fell in recent days still remain. The possibility of roads freezing over, especially in mountainous and foothill regions, as well as in open areas exposed to wind during morning and evening hours, on inclined and declining roads, and on bridges, increases the risk of skidding multiple times.

The editorial office reports that this was stated in an appeal from the Main State Traffic Police Department (MSTPD).

"Considering that the intensity of traffic on highways will increase on the weekend, the MSTPD requests drivers, especially those embarking on journeys, not to forget the possibility of icing on the roads, not to set off with vehicles that are technically unsafe or not equipped for the season, to plan their trips as much as possible during daylight hours, and for individuals and legal entities engaged in passenger transportation to prioritize travel on safer routes," the statement noted.
