Ramban, Dec 26: The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway remained open for two-way traffic on Friday.
Traffic authorities said that, subject to fair weather and road conditions, Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) and heavy vehicles would be allowed to ply from both sides of the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway on Saturday.
LMVs and heavy vehicles were permitted to move in both directions throughout the day on Friday as well.
However, traffic movement remained slow at several locations owing to single-lane stretches and vehicle breakdowns.
Congestion was reported at Balinalla, Dewal, Nashri-Dalwas, and along the Marog-Kishtwari Pather stretch.
Traffic flow was further disrupted due to the breakdown of two heavy vehicles on the highway.
Traffic authorities urged passengers and drivers to check updates from Traffic Control Units (TCUs) at Srinagar, Ramban, and Jammu, as well as official social media handles of the Jammu and Kashmir Traffic Police before starting their journey.
Commuters have also been advised to prefer daytime travel and avoid night journeys, particularly on vulnerable stretches.
Officials cautioned that the movement of heavy vehicles between the Nashri and Navyug tunnels during night hours could cause inconvenience and delays.
Drivers were further urged to maintain lane discipline, warning that overtaking and wrong-lane driving could lead to traffic jams and pose serious safety risks.
