Motorists urged to be extra careful on Limassol-Paphos highway due to bad weather

Police were on Thursday evening advising motorists to be extra careful if traveling on the Limassol-Paphos highway due to adverse weather conditions.

According to a police bulletin, the stretch of road near Aphrodite’s Rock, in particular, was slippery due to the buildup of rainwater.

Visibility in the area was limited.

Police urged the public to drive at low speeds and keep a safe distance from other cars.

Heavy rains also fell in Limassol, flooding streets near the old castle area.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
