What Are Tourists Advised To Do?
Tourists have been advised by the AC to especially keep the air pressure in their vehicles’ tyres low. This will ensure some friction is constantly created between the tyres and the roads to keep them stabilized. Moreover, they have been advised against stopping in their cars in the middle of the roads for any entertainment.
As is the custom, many parks left, right, and centre to either take pictures with the monkeys or take selfies amongst themselves. During such heavy intermittent snowfall, this could pose a risk to all. It is also pertinent to be responsible for the traffic. The AC also asked citizens to act responsibly on roads for maintaining the traffic flow.
