Celebrating Holidays: Travelers Hit the Road as Feasts Return!
As the holiday of Ramadan comes to an end, the return of citizens from their hometowns and holiday destinations is in full swing. Many drivers chose to begin their journey back home after celebrating the holiday. As the 9-day holiday nears its conclusion, traffic on the Anatolian Highway in Sakarya is busy in both directions.
Fortunately, there have been no major issues on the roads in the Sapanca and Arifiye section, where traffic is flowing smoothly. Traffic teams are on hand to ensure everything runs smoothly in certain areas.
However, a rainfall warning has been issued for the ‘Lock Junction’ as citizens make their way back from various parts of the country to the metropolitan cities. Kırıkkale, a key intersection for 43 provinces, experienced heavy rainfall, causing difficulties for drivers on the roads to Ankara and Kayseri.
Due to the downpour, traffic slowed down in some areas, leading to accidents as the wet roads became slippery. To prevent any disruptions in transportation, police teams are actively monitoring the routes and urging drivers to be cautious.
The Kırıkkale Provincial Police Department has issued warnings on social media platforms, advising drivers to be careful as holiday traffic increases. It is crucial for drivers to adhere to traffic regulations not only for their safety but also for the well-being of others on the road.
In a statement, the department emphasized the importance of following traffic rules to save lives, especially during the return journey. The message reminds drivers that a few moments of attention can make a significant difference on the road. Safe travels to all those making their way back home after the holidays.
