Heavy Rain and Snowfall Disrupt Traffic in Cyprus

Heavy rainfall occurred in Cyprus, causing traffic problems, particularly on the Limassol - Paphos highway, where a stream overflowed and water accumulated on the road surface. Police warn drivers of dangerous spots and urge them to drive at low speeds and maintain safe distances. Snowfall occurred in Troodos, making the road surface slippery. Roads in the higher mountains are open only to four-wheel drive vehicles or vehicles with snow chains. Visibility is limited due to fog. Police advise drivers to be particularly careful and take all necessary safety measures when driving in these conditions. The condition of the road network is constantly monitored and drivers are informed of any changes. The severe weather conditions highlight the need for preparedness and caution when driving in winter conditions, as well as the importance of following the authorities' instructions for the safety of citizens.
