Rijkswaterstaat warns drivers that slick roads will persist as winter showers continue and wet road sections freeze. The KNMI has issued a yellow alert. Local winter rain may shift to snowfall in the middle and southern parts of the country by midnight, potentially causing traffic delays on Friday night and Saturday morning. Because holiday traffic is lighter, salt applied to the roads settles less effectively, raising the risk of slick surfaces. Since New Year’s Day, Rijkswaterstaat’s salting units have covered 78,000 km, spreading over 7 million kg of salt with 577 trucks, 630 snowplows and 1,200 workers. A Lavastorm machine is active on the A2 between Den Bosch and Vught to remove ice. Drivers are advised to monitor weather and traffic updates, keep distance, avoid unnecessary lane changes and allow space for salting vehicles.
