The Police hopes the road users assume a sensible and proactive attitude to traffic during the Arctic Rally Finland weekend from 26 to 28 February. Traffic on the main arteries in Rovaniemi and Kemijärvi will be significantly more intense than normal. Not only the Arctic Rally Finland racing cars, but also the winter holidaymakers from Southern and Central Finland will impact the traffic volumes significantly.

Friday 19 February marks the start of the winter holiday season, with the holidays beginning in the South of Finland. In road traffic this means that the following weekends will be exceptionally busy on the roads, irrespective of the Covid-19 pandemic.
