On Sunday morning, driving conditions across Latvia have been negatively affected, particularly in the central and eastern regions of the country. The State Road Maintenance Agency (VSIA "Latvijas valsts ceļi") reports that the conditions on major highways are significantly worse, complicating travel for residents and commuters. Specifically, regions such as Zemgale and Vidzeme are experiencing challenging conditions, notably on key routes such as the Liepāja highway and Valmiera highway, with reports of snow affecting visibility and maneuverability.

In Latgale, the adverse weather has made driving difficult across all major roads around Daugavpils, particularly affecting the stretch of highway connecting Daugavpils to the Belarus border. The areas surrounding Rēzekne are also facing similar challenges, with snow-covered and slippery roads posing risks for drivers. Local authorities have been actively clearing and sanding these roads to improve safety and accessibility for motorists, but caution is still advised as conditions can change rapidly.

As winter weather persists, it underscores the importance of being prepared for sudden changes in driving conditions. While Kurzeme is reporting satisfactory road conditions, travelers are urged to check local advisories and ensure their vehicles are equipped for winter driving. This situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by transport services and the need for continued attention to road safety during severe weather events in Latvia, especially in regions most affected by snowfall and icy conditions.
