On the A14 Bologna-Taranto, strong winds are reported between the towns of San Severo and Foggia. Drivers are advised to pay particular attention and maintain a prudent driving behavior, especially on exposed sections.
Road safety recommendations include:
-
Reduce speed: high speeds can compromise control of the vehicle in the presence of gusts of wind.
-
Keep a safe distance: maintaining adequate space from other vehicles is essential to be able to react if necessary.
-
Avoid sudden lane changes: wind could affect the stability of the vehicle, making a sudden change of direction risky.
-
Stop, if necessary: in case of particularly adverse conditions, consider stopping at a service area safe.
Make sure you stay up to date on weather and road conditions before you set off.
