The Finnish Road Administration says that lower nighttime speed limits will be implemented in the areas of Kanta-Häme, Päijät-Häme, Pirkanmaa, Satakunta, Finland Proper, Uusimaa, and East Uusimaa.
Speed limits of 120 km/h are to be lowered to 100 km/h, and maximum speeds of 100 km/h will come down to 80. In some areas, speed limits of 80 km/h will be brought down to 70 km/h.
The Finnish Road Administration also advises motorists of the importance of using winter tyres. Studded tyres are allowed in Finland between the first of November and the fourth of April.
