Police Warnings to Drivers Due to Rain in Lowlands and Frost in Highlands

Police are advising drivers to be cautious due to hazardous weather conditions. Heavy rainfall is being observed in the lowlands, particularly on the Limassol – Paphos highway (near Pissouri, Aoudemou and Paramali), where drivers are urged to be careful, drive at low speeds and maintain safe distances. In the highlands, roads leading to Troodos (Platron – Troodos, Karvouna – Troodos and Prodromou – Troodos) are open only to vehicles equipped with anti-slip chains or four-wheel drive. Similar restrictions apply to the roads Palaichori – Agrou, Farmaka – Odos, Fterikoudi – Alona – Platanistasas, ‘Alona – Polystypos, Polystypos – Lagouderon and Lagouderon – Chandrion. Police are calling on drivers to be particularly careful, reduce speed and maintain safe distances when driving on these roads. The condition of the road network is constantly monitored and further announcements will be made if necessary.
