According to the Regional Secretariat for Equipment and Infrastructure, the access roads to Poiso, Pico do Areeiro, Meia Serra, Estanquinhos - Bica da Cana, Malhadinha - Paúl da Serra, Pico das Pedras - Achada do Teixeira are closed.

"The interruption of road traffic is due to adverse weather conditions, which compromise the safety of traffic," indicated the Madeiran government, adding that these roads will remain closed "until the necessary conditions to guarantee the safety of people and property are restored."

This department of the Madeiran executive appeals for compliance with the authorities' signage and instructions.

The Madeira archipelago is being affected by the Regina depression, which is expected to affect the weather until the morning of 4 March.
