Initially, due to the intense weather phenomena, it was recommended by the Risk Assessment Committee in areas that will be “hit” by the bad weather that there should be a traffic ban for heavy vehicles, mandatory anti-skid chains in Region networks and school closures.
Below is the recommendation of the Risk Assessment Committee:
1. Traffic ban for heavy vehicles from yesterday Sunday at 18:00 until today at 14:00
a) On Egnatia Odos, from the Drosohori toll road to the Polymylos toll road
b) From the Kalambaka junction of E65 on the provincial network to Panagia E06 and from Grevena E015 to the junctions of Egnatia.
2. Anti-skid chains are mandatory throughout the network of the Regions of Epirus, Western Macedonia, Central Macedonia, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace and Western Thessaly.
3. Schools are closed today Monday in Western Macedonia
4. The mayors will decide on closing schools on a case-by-case basis, where necessary, in Eastern and Central Macedonia.
