Heavy traffic is being reported in the Troodos region due to an influx of visitors seeking to enjoy the snow. Police have implemented controlled access from Troodos Square towards Mount Olympus to manage the flow of vehicles and prevent accidents. Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution and patience, as roads are slippery. Specifically, the Prodromou – Troodos road is open only to four-wheel-drive vehicles or those equipped with anti-slip chains. The Platron – Troodos and Karvouna – Troodos roads are open to all vehicles, but remain slippery. Police advise against unnecessary travel and recommend adjusting speed to the prevailing conditions. The increased traffic and slippery roads require extra care and prudence from drivers to ensure the safety of everyone.
