Today, rain conditions are recorded along the A5 Turin - Aosta - Monte Bianco axis, in particular near the All. A05-SS26DIR exit. Motorists may encounter reduced visibility and wet road surfaces between Courmayeur sud and the Raccordo A5/SS26 dir.
All drivers are advised to pay particular attention and adjust their speed to the weather conditions. Here are some tips for safe driving in bad weather:
-
Reduce your speed: Excessive speed in rainy conditions increases the risk of aquaplaning.
-
Increase your safety distance: Maintaining a greater distance from the vehicle in front gives you more time to react in the event of sudden braking.
-
Turn on your headlights: Use dipped headlights both to increase your visibility and to be noticed by other road users.
-
Avoid sudden manoeuvres: Rapid manoeuvres can cause the vehicle to skid; therefore, it is advisable to change lanes and brake gradually.
For everyone's safety, it is essential to be alert and careful while driving. Stay up to date on road and weather conditions before setting off.
