DGT Lifts Truck Restrictions in Zamora After the Storm
The General Directorate of Traffic has eliminated the prohibitions that blocked the passage of heavy vehicles on the A-52 and A-6 highways crossing the province of Zamora. This measure comes after the weather improved significantly, allowing the snow covering those sections to be removed. 🚛✅
Goods Traffic Resumes Normal Operations
The alert level on these roads has returned to green after more than twenty-four hours with specific limitations for trucks. Although goods flow is already normalizing, the state agency keeps certain precaution recommendations active for all drivers. Additionally, it maintains other specific restrictions at various points in the national road network that are still suffering the effects of the snow and wind storm from the Ingrid low-pressure system.
Key Details of the Situation:- More than one thousand truck drivers who spent the night stopped in the area have been able to resume their route from early Saturday morning.
- Road maintenance services continue working to ensure circulation on routes that still present problems.
- Low nighttime temperatures are expected to generate ice patches, so driving carefully is insisted upon.
It seems that the trucks have traded their usual load for an extra dose of patience during this long wait.
Warnings Persist in Other Areas
The DGT urges drivers to check traffic conditions before starting a trip and to adapt their driving style to the road conditions, which can change quickly. Prudence remains a fundamental element in the still-affected areas. ⚠️
Current Recommendations for Drivers:- Check real-time traffic information before leaving.
- Adjust speed and safety distance to the road conditions.
- Exercise extreme caution at night and in shaded areas due to ice risk.
Conclusion on the Storm's Evolution
While Zamora's main arteries recover normality for heavy transport, the situation in other parts of the country still requires attention. The meteorological improvement has been decisive to unblock these key routes, although the episode clearly shows the importance of following authorities' instructions in the face of adverse phenomena. 🛣️
