Traffic restrictions were introduced on the roads of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug due to ice

A temporary maximum speed limit of 70 kilometers per hour was introduced on several highways in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug. The Yugra Road Administration reported on social media that the measures were related to the possible formation of ice.

“Attention car enthusiasts! Due to weather conditions (wet snow, high probability of ice formation and temperature crossing 0 degrees), temporary restrictions on the maximum speed of 70 km/h are being introduced,” the department’s telegram channel reports.

The restriction has been introduced on the following sections of roads:

• Surgut – Kogalym – border of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug from 34 to 244 kilometers;
• Access to the city of Kogalym from 0 to 52 kilometers
• Surgut – Lyantor from 42 to 91 kilometers
