Information on the approximate opening date of the principal mountain roads is given in the table; the map below shows the locations of mountain roads. The first two columns of the table show the earliest and latest opening dates of the roads over the past years. The third column shows the average date of opening during this period. The road may not, in practice, be opened on the projected date, as the question whether a road has become passable is subject to weather conditions and the amount of snow in the highlands. More detailed information on the opening of highland roads can be found in maps issued by the Public Roads Administration and the Environmental and Food Agency during the spring and early summer, and published in the press.
