Dangerous Roads Due to Frost and Snowfall

Due to the prevailing weather conditions in Cyprus, several roads are hazardous. In mountainous and semi-mountainous areas, as well as those at higher altitudes, there is a risk of slippery roads due to frost during the morning hours. Specifically, roads such as Platron – Troodos and Karvouna – Troodos are open only to vehicles with four-wheel drive or with anti-slip chains. Other roads, such as Kalopanayiotis – Moutoulla – Pedoulas, are open to all vehicles, but are slippery due to light snowfall or frost. In addition, road works may cause delays in traffic. Police urge drivers to be extra careful, to obey the traffic code and to comply with the instructions of traffic police to avoid accidents.
