AKA Alföld Koncessziós Autópálya Ltd. and the M5 Motorway Operating Company, A-WAY Ltd. ensures the safety and smoothness of winter traffic with rigorous preparations. From 10th November, 2025, their maintenance fleet is fully ready to handle winter weather conditions, supported by regular road patrols and trained professionals. At three operation and maintenance centres – located near Újhartyán, Kiskunfélegyháza and Balástya – the vehicles and their adapters handling the winter maintenance works were prepared and passed the inspections.

AKA Alföld Koncessziós Autópálya Ltd. and the M5 Motorway Operating Company, A-WAY Ltd., carry out tasks instructed for winter operation in accordance with their legal obligations. The motorway and the maintenance fleet are all prepared to run seamlessly during the winter season. Training of the workforce has concluded in accordance with the operating regulations. An on-call service will be provided starting from 10th November up until 15th March. Depending on weather conditions, the duration of this service can be subject of change.

The winter maintenance of the 156,5-kilometre-long motorway section is managed by three operation and maintenance centres with the help of vehicles specifically adjusted to the winter operation period. De-icing and snow removal will be carried out by 12 dual-purpose vehicles. In addition, 6 multifunctional Unimogs capable of disseminating salt and ploughing, 3 for loading and if necessary, 4 additional rented vehicles can help with the winter operation of the motorway.

For the salting of the roads, the salt storage facilities of the maintenance centres provide 5840 tons of sodium chloride and 18 tons of calcium chloride. At each operation and maintenance centre, the service is managed in 12-hour shifts. The drivers also work in 12-hour shifts, while the dispatcher and road patrol service ensures smooth traffic conditions 24 hours a day.

In order to ensure accident-free and continuous traffic flow, the Operator regularly monitors road conditions every two hours during the day, and every four hours during the night. In order to increase traffic safety, a CCTV camera system continuously monitors traffic at interchanges and rest areas as well. Meteorological stations placed along the motorway relay the latest weather data every five minutes, which is complemented by satellite imagery of the National Meteorological Service updated every 15 minutes, thus the operation of each section is always based on the most up-to-date information.

In order to drive safely travelers may need to reduce their usual travel speed they have been accustomed to during the summer weather conditions.
Extreme weather conditions can further complicate the work the maintenance fleet carries out during winter. We ask motorists to exercise increased patience and caution.

Accident-free traffic does not solely depend on operators, it includes the collective effort of drivers as well as the condition of their vehicles. Especially during the winter, it is essential that drivers pay more attention to each other and prepare their vehicles for the winter. It is important that they adjust their usual travel speed to the weather conditions, as extreme winter weather can also be challenging for the maintenance fleet. We ask road users to exercise caution during this period.

Before leaving, we kindly ask to check the latest road condition updates provided by Utinform as well as AKA Ltd., and pay attention to keep the sufficient following distance and traffic rules while travelling!

We wish everyone an accident-free and safe travel!
