On the A8 Milan-Varese, strong wind conditions are currently being reported near Arona, which could affect the safety of motorists. Tunnels and exposed sections can be particularly dangerous in these situations.
In particular, strong winds are also being felt between Sesto Calende and Vergiate, as well as at the junction between A8 and A26/Trafoi. Drivers are advised to pay close attention and drive carefully.
It is recommended to:
- Reduce your speed: Wind can push vehicles, especially light vehicles.
- Increase your following distance: To give yourself more time to react in the event of sudden maneuvers.
- Avoid overtaking lanes: Until the wind subsides, it is better to maintain a more stable and safe driving position.
Stay up to date with road conditions and plan your journeys with possible bad weather in mind.
