October 27, 2025 – The National Security Directorate (DGSN) has issued an advisory urging drivers across several regions of the country to exercise increased caution due to ongoing adverse weather conditions.
In a statement released earlier today, the DGSN highlighted the importance of adhering to traffic safety regulations in light of the weather disturbances affecting various states. The advisory, disseminated via the Algerian Police’s official social media channels, specifically calls on drivers and all road users to remain vigilant during their commutes.
“Due to the fluctuating weather patterns impacting several regions of the nation, the National Security Directorate strongly advises vehicle operators and all public road users to exercise utmost caution during their travels,” the statement reads. “We remind everyone of the necessity to comply with traffic safety rules by avoiding excessive speed, strictly adhering to traffic laws, and maintaining a safe following distance.”
The DGSN emphasizes that these precautions are crucial for minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the safety of all citizens during this period of inclement weather. Drivers are encouraged to adjust their driving behavior to suit the prevailing conditions, reducing speed and increasing following distances to account for reduced visibility and potentially slippery road surfaces.
Furthermore, the National Security Directorate reminds the public that emergency services are available around the clock. Citizens can reach the police for assistance or to report incidents by dialing the toll-free number 1548 or the emergency hotline 17. These lines are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to ensure prompt response to any situation requiring police intervention. Stay safe on the roads.
