Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution due to rain across the province. To avoid deadly crashes, please:
- Reduce speed on slippery roads
- Maintain a safe following distance
- Ensure wipers are working properly
- Keep lights on for increased visibility
- Avoid flooded areas and overflowing river bridges
Plan ahead, consider alternative routes, and drive during the day if possible. Be extra cautious of roadworks on N4, N11, N2, and R40, as rain can make them more hazardous.
