Rijkswaterstaat warns that heavy snowfall on Saturday, 3 January 2026, has triggered an orange alert from the KNMI for the provinces of North and South Holland, Utrecht, North Brabant and Gelderland. Drivers in the western and central Netherlands face hazardous road conditions, with the rest of the country under a yellow alert. Wet road sections may freeze, creating slippery patches. Several slip lanes and connecting roads in the midlands have been closed because of stalled vehicles and abandoned trucks. 9 million kilograms of salt have already been spread since 19:00 on Sunday, 2 January, using 577 spreaders, 630 snow shovellers and 1 500 staff. Rijkswaterstaat advises motorists to adjust speed, keep a safe distance, stay on their lane and allow space for spreaders.
