Traveling on Võru and Põlva county state roads is difficult due to heavy snowfall. Snow is falling densely, and the wind is strong. Visibility is very poor. The Transport Board advises people not to drive unless necessary. Truck drivers are asked to wait until the weather improves.
Road maintenance machines are working hard. They clear main roads first and side roads later. Therefore, there may be more snow and slippery conditions on side roads.
Drivers must be cautious. It is not advisable to drive fast if the road is slippery or visibility is poor. It is recommended to maintain a greater distance from the vehicle ahead and account for longer braking distances.
If you see a road maintenance machine, stay close to the edge of the road. The machines clear the center of the road and may create snowdrifts. Before passing the machine, make sure the road is safe. The road may be unmaintained.
Before traveling, you can update information about road conditions on the Tark Tee portal.
