Adverse Weather Closures: Identifying Impacted Roads in Kazakhstan by METEL

In a series of measures aimed at ensuring safety on the roads, traffic restrictions have been implemented across various parts of Kazakhstan due to the increased snow and snowstorms.

On the Kyzylorda - Pavlodar road, a restriction on the movement of all types of vehicles was imposed at two different locations on January 13. The first restriction, announced at 08:00, affected the section from the village of Molodezhnoye to the border of Pavlodar region. The second restriction, announced at 08:30, was imposed on the road from the border of Karagandy region to the village of Shiderty.

Meanwhile, in Almaty, 10 centimeters of snow fell overnight, but as of the time of writing, no specific traffic restrictions have been reported in the city.

Further north, on the Omsk - Maykapchagai road, a restriction on the movement of all types of vehicles was imposed from Semey to the village of Kalbatau at 08:30 on January 13, due to snow, blizzard, and poor visibility.

The responsibility for these traffic restrictions on the republican roads in Kazakhstan lies with the relevant local or national road and traffic authorities managing the affected roads. However, specific details on the responsible agency or official are not directly provided in the available search results.

It is advised for all road users to stay updated on the latest weather and traffic conditions, and to adhere to any restrictions or advisories issued by the authorities to ensure a safe journey.
