However, authorities issued a warning: nighttime driving is prohibited. Carmen Bădilă, a Kanal D correspondent reporting from the Transfăgărășan, explained, "Visibility is reduced, and the risks, such as rockslides and encounters with wild animals, are significantly increased." She added that the road is only open between 7 AM and 9 PM. The video showcases the stunning views, but also highlights patches of remaining snow and the need for caution. The simultaneous opening of Transalpina provides another option for those seeking a scenic mountain drive.
