Rijkswaterstaat warns road users that weather conditions in many places could cause dangerous situations in the coming days. Even if it is sprinkled.
Rijkswaterstaat indicates that (wet) snow is expected during Thursday evening and overnight and that the wintry weather will continue in the coming days.
Salt is not broken in as well
Although Rijkswaterstaat does not expect any crowds on the road, this does increase the chance of slippery conditions. “The salt on the road is not broken in as well,” she says.
“Road users are advised to adapt their driving style and keep sufficient distance.”
Code yellow throughout the country
It has been slippery on the road more often in recent days. For example, several accidents occurred on the morning of New Year’s Day and last Saturday.
The KNMI reports that slippery conditions due to winter showers should be taken into account in the west, center and east of the country during the night to Friday. From Friday, code yellow will be in force throughout the country due to snow and slippery conditions.
