Route status in Neuquén


How to know the status of the routes?

As the situation on the routes may change due to weather conditions, it is requested that the status of the routes be reviewed before embarking on a trip. If you have an internet connection, one way to do it is by consulting the report published by the Provincial Road Directorate (DPV) of Neuquén on its website. By pressing the ‘Route Status’ button, you access the latest survey of Neuquén roads (the time it was updated is reported at the top). On the last page, there is a special section that details the status of the international crossings to Chile and their opening and closing hours. It can also be consulted through the National Roads page, selecting the corresponding district. Other options include the social networks of the same organizations, the DPV of Neuquén reports on @dpvneuquen and you can also consult the Facebook page of the Neuquén Civil Defense or the page of the provincial undersecretary.


What to do if you find a breeder with his animals?

Road Safety has given a series of recommendations to deal with unexpected encounters with animals on the roads. The first thing they recommend is to wait for the animals to move forward and move to one side of the shoulder to let the vehicles pass. They also advise against honking as this can scare and disperse the animals. Lastly, and most importantly, they recommend driving at low speed and with your lights on. ‘It is important to remember that there is a law in our province that allows animals to have the right of passage and that protects them in herding tracks,’ the agency explained.

Snow chains are a useful tool for improving tire traction in snowy or icy road conditions. To use them safely, it is recommended to select the appropriate type for your vehicle and road conditions, practice installing and removing them before needing them, reduce speed when driving with them, use them only in snow or icy conditions, and check them regularly. to make sure they are in good condition and working properly.
