Snowfall Paralyzes M-4 Highway: 15-Kilometer Traffic Jam
The traffic jam has blocked movement in the Krasnosulinsky and Kamensky districts of Rostov Region
Intense snowfall has led to serious traffic disruptions on the M-4 highway towards Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. According to the Don State Traffic Inspectorate, a 15-kilometer traffic jam has formed on sections from the 951st to the 979th kilometer of the highway.
As drivers report in the «M-4 Don Highway» chat, the main cause of the jam is trucks that cannot climb the uphill section on a road not cleared of snow.
Traffic police crews are working on site, and traffic regulation is being carried out. Drivers are advised to choose alternative routes if possible, observe speed limits and distance, be extremely attentive, and comply with the requirements of traffic police officers.
— the press service of the Don State Traffic Inspectorate said.
Due to difficult weather conditions on the M-4 highway, the situation is extremely severe today. Authorities, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and the State Traffic Inspectorate recommend refraining from travel without a compelling reason.
