<p style=3D"text-align: justify;">Travel along main highways across Central=
 Region will continue to face frequent disruptions until the end of winter.=
 While the status of most secondary roads remains unconfirmed, similar exte=
nsive route closures can be expected to occur along secondary roads as well=
, particularly in mountainous provinces. The IEA is likely to prioritise th=
e clearing of main roads over secondary roads, meaning that accessing alrea=
dy remote areas will become increasingly difficult, and previously accessib=
le areas will become harder to reach. <br /><br />As a result of the extend=
ed road closures, increased traffic congestion can be expected in the affec=
ted areas, as motorists may be forced to stay put for extended periods of t=
ime. Individual motorists may attempt to cross closed down routes, which ca=
n pose an additional secondary risk to other travellers and further exacerb=
ate route clearance operations. Furthermore, accommodation along affected h=
ighways may face overbooking due to unplanned overnight stays of motorists =
unable to continue their travel.<br /><br />The majority of indicated route=
 closures occurred in established choke points along the highways, such as =
Salang Pass in Parwan Province or Kotal Haji Gak in Bamyan Province as a re=
sult of their specific geography. While these areas regularly close down du=
e to adverse weather conditions, authorities have not put any additional ef=
fective road safety measures in place in recent years to limit the likeliho=
od of similar closures reoccurring during the winter months at the currentl=
y elevated frequency.<br /><br />Road conditions in the region are unlikely=
 to significantly improve until spring, despite ongoing IEA road clearance =
operations. As such, local authorities may decide to close off sections of =
main roads at short notice as a preventative measure intended to prevent ac=
cidents, while formally open roads may be impassable in practice, particula=
rly in remote areas.</p>

<p style=3D"text-align: justify;">NGOs are advised to review the viability =
of existing movement plans along the indicated highways based on the latest=

Drivers and other staff members travelling should be familiar with internal=
 response procedures in case of sudden route closures and road traffic acci=

 both main and secondary roads they intend to use for road movements throug=
h local intermediaries as close to departure as possible.<br /><br />Adequa=
te maintenance should be ensured for all NGO vehicles used in planned movem=
ents and the presence of necessary emergency items (e.g. first aid kit, dri=
nking water reserve, spare warm clothing) should be confirmed prior to depa=
rture.<br /><br />While travelling along roads affected by snowfall, NGO ve=
hicles should travel with reduced speed and full lights in order to maximis=
e visibility. Conducting road movements outside settlements between dusk an=

ouraged.</p>
