Snow and ice complicating road traffic

Snow and icy roads are complicating traffic in many parts of the country. In the wake of snow showers and a sharp drop in temperatures many of the country’s smaller roads are hazardous due to ice and snow drifts. Traffic police have warned drivers to exercise caution and not set out without winter gear. Drivers are also complaining of the poor condition of many roads damaged by the tons of salt that maintenance crews use to melt the snow and ice.
