Police urge caution as heavy rain cuts visibility near Kofinou
Downpours around Kofinou have reduced visibility on the roads, police said, asking drivers to slow down and keep their distance from the vehicle in front.
Police issued a warning to motorists on Wednesday morning about poor visibility caused by intense rainfall around Kofinou, as reported by Cyprus Mail.
In a statement, the force called on drivers to take extra care, reduce their speed and leave a generous gap behind the vehicle in front. Motorists are also encouraged to keep an eye on weather updates and follow the instructions issued by police.
What it means for residents
Anyone whose commute or errands take them along the Kofinou stretch should build extra time into the trip — spray and standing water can turn a routine drive into a risky one.
- Slow down early. Cut speed before you reach the wet patch, not once you are already in it.
- Keep your distance. A wider gap gives you room to stop if the car ahead brakes suddenly.
- Check before you go. Look at the forecast and police updates, and delay non-essential journeys if conditions worsen.
