Water Accumulation on Limassol-Paphos Highway - Warnings for Mountainous Areas

Heavy rain around 2:00 PM in Limassol and Paphos is affecting traffic on the road network. Snowfall in Troodos is also impacting traffic in the higher mountainous areas. Water accumulation is observed on the Limassol-Paphos highway, particularly near Limassol, Pissouri, and Kouklia, as well as on the Limassol bypass, making the road surface slippery and visibility limited. Snowfall in Troodos has made the road surface slippery and visibility reduced. The roads in the higher mountains, from Troodos Square to the peak, and the Prodromou-Troodos road, are open only to four-wheel drive vehicles or vehicles with anti-slip chains due to snow accumulation. Police advise drivers to be particularly careful, drive at a safe, low speed, maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead, and have their headlights on. The situation has deteriorated due to the heavy rainfall and snowfall, making driving conditions dangerous in some areas. Drivers are urged to be particularly careful and avoid travel unless absolutely necessary. Police are closely monitoring the situation and providing traffic updates. Drivers are advised to check road conditions before starting their journey and follow the instructions of the authorities.
