Yesterday evening, snowfall began in Voronezh, which by morning had already caused many problems for drivers. Roads were not cleaned, resulting in cars drifting against drivers« wills, and due to accidents, traffic jams were worse than usual.

Since snow fell all day, the fact that the Yandex Maps service is currently showing a splendid red 8 points on the roads in the city is completely predictable. It seems that if not for the permanent navigation issues in the city, the number 10 would be proudly displayed in the corner.

Several accidents have already been recorded. The city center is «red» in all directions. The worst situation is on the Antonova-Ovseenko Bypass, Moscow Avenue, 9 January Street, and Plekhanovskaya. It seems no one will get home quickly today, so dear drivers, take a deep breath, don«t rush, sing relaxing songs at the wheel. Spending several hours in the cold waiting for the traffic police to document an accident is no pleasure at all.

Recall that forecasters have given a terrible weather forecast for the coming days. Snow will continue to fall, and frosts will intensify. The mayor, in this regard, has called on utility workers to be more ready than ever to clear accidents and clean streets, and has given hope to schoolchildren for canceled classes.
