Drivers traveling on the Platres – Troodos and Prodromos – Troodos roads are facing hazardous conditions due to dense fog, which has severely restricted visibility across the mountain range.
The Cyprus Police have issued an urgent advisory calling for motorists to exercise extreme caution. To ensure safety in these conditions, drivers are instructed to maintain low speeds, keep significant safety distances from vehicles ahead, and ensure their headlights remain switched on at all times.
When driving through thick fog, it is essential to use fog lights rather than high beams, as high-intensity lights reflect off the water droplets in the air, further reducing the driver’s ability to see the road.
