Stelvio Pass closed beyond Trafoi

The panel reports the condition of the Stelvio Pass. The red section means that the pass is closed. The lower section indicates that drivers may continue as far as Trafoi and recommends snow chains or winter tyres for that journey. The sign calls for particular care, tells drivers that the Stelvio Pass itself cannot be reached and confirms that Trafoi can be reached. In this configuration it does not automatically impose carrying chains, announce closed service stations or make winter tyres compulsory.
