Police on Wednesday urged drivers to exercise caution as heavy rainfall in parts of Limassol and Paphos is affecting traffic, while snow has made mountain roads hazardous.

In a statement, authorities said water accumulation has been observed along sections of the Limassol–Paphos highway, particularly near Limassol, Pissouri and Kouklia, as well as on the Limassol bypass.

In the Troodos mountains, snowfall has been reported, further worsening driving conditions. Roads in the area, police warned, are slippery and fog is limiting visibility.

Police said that roads in higher mountainous, including from Troodos square to the Troodos peak and the Prodromos–Troodos road, are open only to vehicles with four-wheel drive or those fitted with snow chains.

Police advised drivers to proceed with caution, reduce speed, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and keep headlights on at all times.
