On Saturday morning, Latvia's roads are experiencing slippery and snow-covered conditions, as reported by the Latvian State Roads (LVC). The maintenance team has been actively clearing the snow and applying anti-slip materials to improve driving conditions across various segments of the highways. The response has involved 79 winter service vehicles to facilitate safe travel during this winter weather.

The report highlights several key areas of concern including the Tallinn highway (A1), the Vidzeme highway (A2) from Rīga to Alūksne, and other routes such as the Valmiera highway (A3) and the Rīga bypass road. Drivers are advised to exercise caution especially on the Daugavpils highway (A6) and the Bauska highway (A7), where driving conditions are reported to be especially difficult due to the snow accumulation.

This weather condition is significant for transportation and safety, urging authorities to increase resources and readiness to mitigate the impact on vehicle travel. It illustrates the winter challenges faced by motorists in Latvia, emphasizing the need for preparedness during the colder months and the importance of road safety measures to reduce accidents and ensure clear passage for all travelers.
