Drivers must exercise extra caution, particularly on bends and steep sections, by reducing speed, avoiding sudden manoeuvres, and maintaining greater following distances.

Authorities have not specified an end time, but such measures typically depend on improving weather and road clearance. Motorists are advised to check updates via official channels before travelling.
