The first snowfall of the winter in Troodos has caused problems with road traffic. Police report that roads are wet and icy, urging drivers to be particularly careful. Many drivers, despite recommendations, attempt to ascend to Troodos with unsuitable vehicles, resulting in immobilization and the need for assistance to descend. Police have been forced to turn vehicles around and warn about the enthusiasm of drivers after the first snowfall. Furthermore, police report that drivers are entering ski slopes, causing damage and altering the appearance of the ski resort. There are also illegal parkings and pedestrians walking on the roads, endangering their safety. For the weekend, police have scheduled increased patrols and operations to assist drivers and ensure the smooth operation of Troodos. The priority is the safe movement of citizens and the prevention of accidents. Police urge the public to follow their instructions and not endanger themselves or others. Safe access to Troodos requires a suitable vehicle, careful driving, and respect for traffic rules.
