Driving in foggy conditions, visibility being reduced in traffic below 200 meters, on the A1 Bucharest-Pitesti, A1 Sibiu-Deva, A3 Bucharest-Brașov and A0 Bucharest Ring highways.
On the other main roads, namely the A2 Bucharest-Constanța highway, DN 1 Ploiesti-Brașov and DN 7 Râmnicu Vâlcea – Sibiu, traffic is on a wet road, with good visibility and low traffic values.
Due to the strong wind, maneuvers in Mangalia port are temporarily closed.
Recommendations addressed to drivers regarding the safety of road users in the cold season:
