On Tuesday morning, snow and ice have severely impacted driving conditions throughout Latvia, posing significant challenges for motorists. While some areas, such as the Ventspils highway and the Rīgas bypass towards Jūrmala, along with roads around Jēkabpils, maintain more acceptable conditions, the majority of the country is experiencing hazardous road conditions.

Key highways, including those in Tallina, Vidzeme, and Valmiera, in addition to sections of the Rīga bypass, are particularly affected. Reported problematic segments include the Bauska highway between Dzimtmasa and Grenctāle and the Jelgava highway from Dalbes to Meitene, emphasizing the widespread nature of the issue. Other areas facing severe driving difficulties include the roads connecting Daugavpils and Rēzekne to various points, reflecting how bad weather has put a strain on transport across the country.

The situation indicates a wider issue as regional roads are also experiencing tough driving conditions with few exceptions in the Rīga and Jēkabpils areas. With snow and ice affecting travel across various routes, authorities may need to undertake measures to ensure road safety, signaling the importance of keeping motorists informed about changing driving conditions as the winter weather persists.
