On the morning of December 31, 2024, road traffic in Romania is proceeding without major incidents, according to INFOTRAFFIC Center from the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police.
No national roads or highways are recorded with traffic stopped due to accidents or weather conditions. However, dense fog poses a significant challenge for drivers in almost all regions of the country.
Foggy conditions and low visibility
Dense fog affects visibility on most roads in Romania, reducing it below 200 meters, and in some areas even below 50 meters. In addition, negative temperatures in certain regions can favor the formation of fog, increasing the risk of accidents. Drivers driving on the highways around Bucharest (A0, A1, A2, A3) should be cautious, as visibility is low on these roads as well, although traffic values remain low at this time of the morning.
Recommendations for a safe trip
To cope with difficult traffic conditions, the authorities recommend that drivers take the following precautions:
Reduce speed: Adapt your speed to weather and road conditions to prevent loss of vehicle control.
Use of fog lights: These are essential to increase visibility and signal the presence of the vehicle.
Increasing the safety distance: Maintain a sufficient distance from the vehicle in front to have time to react in an emergency.
Avoiding risky maneuvers: Overtaking and sudden changes in direction can become extremely dangerous in foggy conditions.
Constant assurance: Be vigilant and regularly check the situation around the vehicle.
Drivers are encouraged to inform themselves ahead of time about road conditions and avoid non-essential travel in difficult weather conditions. By following these tips, you will contribute to your own safety and that of other road users.
