Snowfalls throughout the country have slowed down road traffic, but
there are no major problems in the inter-city, railway and airline
traffic.
Flow of traffic on the road network is slow, on snowy and wet roads.
Heavy vehicles are banned at road sections Jazince village-border crossing Jazince and Berovo-Strumica.
Gevgelija-Smrdliva Voda road section is passable and the rest of the road to Kozuf ski centre is still being cleaned.
The
Auto-Moto Association of Macedonia recommends caution while driving due
to slippery and icy roads, especially at road sections
Mavrovo-Debar-Struga, Katlanovo-Veles, and Demir Kapija-Udovo, where
landslides are possible.
Skopje bus station said traffic is
normal, without any major delays in departures and arrivals. The
situation is similar at the Skopje-based railway station and airport
"Alexander the Great".
According to the Hydrometeorological
Administration, weather will be moderately cloudy and cold
with occasional snowfalls and north winds across the entire country.
Morning temperatures will range from -6C to 0C and daily from -5C to 1C.
Similar weather in Skopje with temperatures up to -1C.
