Rijkswaterstaat has warned motorists that the coming Monday morning will be a busy rush hour because winter conditions with snow and ice are expected to persist. The KNMI has issued a code yellow for the entire country until Tuesday morning, and the end of the Christmas break means more commuters will be on the road. Drivers are urged to check weather and traffic information before leaving, adjust their driving style, keep a safe following distance, avoid unnecessary lane changes, and give priority to snow‑plows and spreaders. The agency has deployed 577 spreaders, 630 snow‑plows, and 1,500 staff to keep highways clear. Special machines such as the Lavastorm and Firestorm are ready for emergencies; the Firestorm was used today on the A1 near Deventer. Real‑time updates and salt usage are available on the Rijkswaterstaat traffic information website.
