The TF-5 has once again become a critical point for drivers in Tenerife due to an unusual meteorological phenomenon. Visibility has been drastically reduced in several sections, causing vehicle queues that stretch for kilometers.
This event, which intensified with the first hours of sunlight, forced drivers to significantly reduce their speed, creating a domino effect that impacted multiple municipalities. The combination of fog and morning rush hour has caused deep discomfort among users, who report delays of up to 45 minutes on usually short commutes.
Turning on low beam and fog lights is essential to be seen by other vehicles.
Given these conditions, authorities recommend drivers to exercise extreme caution. It is crucial to turn on low beam and fog lights to improve visibility, reduce speed and adapt it to actual road conditions, and maintain patience at access points. The situation is expected to improve as the sun dissipates the accumulated humidity in the valley.
