Winter Tyre Requirement

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by the Provincial Police Department of the Governorship of Elazığ, taking into account the winter conditions that play an important role in the occurrence of traffic accidents and the adverse effects on traffic safety, in order to protect the safety of life and property of our citizens, to increase the road grip of vehicles on icy surfaces caused by the severity of winter conditions, heavy snowfall and low temperatures in our province, and to prevent possible traffic accidents due to skidding, it has been decided, with the approval of the Governor's Office dated 29.11.2023, that the use of winter tyres shall be mandatory for vehicles travelling on the roads within our provincial borders
that carry out commercial passenger and goods (freight) transport (Including School Service Vehicles), and that the winter tyre requirement shall be applied in our provincial and district centres between 01.12.2023 and 01.04.2024.

Kind regards,
Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
