Heavy snowfall this afternoon has prompted Andorra's mobility service to activate yellow phase restrictions on several key roads. The measures apply to the CG-2 from Meritxell to the Pas de la Casa, the RN22 at the France border access, the CG-3 from El Serrat, the CG-4 from Pal, and the CG-5 from Arinsal.
Under yellow phase rules, drivers must use winter tyres or equivalent snow chains. Speed limits are capped at 60 km/h, and motorcycles, mopeds, and personal mobility vehicles are banned from these routes.
The mobility department urges caution, advising drivers to reduce speed—particularly on bends and inclines—avoid sudden manoeuvres, and maintain greater following distances.
