According to the Communication Department of VSIA “Latvijas Valsts veļi”, the season of active construction works continues in the state road network and in many places on regional roads throughout the country the pavement is being renewed by the surface treatment method. During these stages, it is important not to exceed the permitted driving speed of 50 kilometers per hour (km / h). Otherwise, the fragments picked up in the air may hit the windows of the oncoming car, warns LVC, noting that these repair stages are not long and after a week the excess fragments that have not adhered to the pavement are collected from the road surface.

Road repairs continue on a total of more than 120 national road sections, so drivers must take into account traffic restrictions, as well as additional time on the road and plan their trips in a timely manner.
