Rijkswaterstaat has warned motorists to exercise extra caution during the New Year’s Eve night due to the risk of ice and slippery road conditions across the Netherlands. The agency notes that wet road sections in the south and east of the country can freeze when sleet falls, forming a thin ice layer even over spread salt. Because traffic is light at night, the salt is not well rutted in, which can create unexpected slippery spots on bridges, viaducts and quiet roads. These slick patches may be difficult to see. Rijkswaterstaat will continue to monitor the weather and apply salt where necessary. Drivers are advised to adjust their driving style, keep a safe following distance, and check up‑to‑date weather and traffic information on the Rijkswaterstaat website before heading out.
