Watch out for slippery frosty roads and thick fog.

 

If ready to set off for Troodos, on the way or already up there, watch out for the thick fog enveloping the highest reaches of the mountain range and slippery frosty roads.

Police are patrolling the area and have issued several warnings for those venturing up today that conditions are hazardous, as light snowfalls continue.

The Prodromos-Troodos and the Troodos square-Mount Olympus roads are only open for 4x4s and snow chained vehicles.

Drivers should exercise the utmost caution, maintain low speeds, keep a safe distance from vehicles ahead and keep their hazards lights on.

Large numbers of visitors are causing traffic congestion, made worse by a vehicle with mechanical failure on the road to Troodos square.
