Roads are cleared after heavy snows
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007
Good news for car drivers in Morocco. Almost 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) of road have been cleared of snow.
Exceptionally heavy snowfalls since last Friday made some roads pretty hard to navigate, particularly in the Atlas and Rif mountains. Although no roads were completely closed, traffic slowed to a crawl along many stretches.
The ministry of Transport announced today that snow crews had cleared most of the roads by this morning. With rising temperatures, most snow should disappear over the next few days.
- Nevertheless, be careful on the road
