Local authorities in Morocco’s Ifrane province have imposed exceptional security measures and blocked access to major mountain towns after heavy snowfall, as part of efforts to prevent accidents and protect public safety.
Security checkpoints and reinforced barriers were installed at the main entrances to Ifrane and Azrou, and police and gendarmerie forces have been deployed on key roads to prevent visitors from reaching the area.
The provincial governor issued strict instructions to security services and road authorities to prohibit travel through snow-covered areas. The regional road authority in Ifrane announced that several routes are currently closed, including:
-
National Route 13 (Al Hajeb–Azrou)
-
National Route 13 (Azrou–Timahdite)
-
National Route 8 (Imouzzer–Ifrane)
-
National Route 8 (Azrou–Ifrane)
The regional road authority also said that Regional Route 707 (Ifrane–Al Hajeb) remains open only for convoy traffic and is closed to vehicles with trailers.
Authorities urged residents to follow instructions from snow-clearing teams and avoid unnecessary travel until roads are fully reopened. Drivers were also advised to exercise extreme caution.
