Overview

- KNMI cites slick conditions from wintry showers and refreezing of wet roads, with localized snowfall intensity changing rapidly over short distances.
- Rijkswaterstaat notes that salting may be less effective when traffic is light because salt is not driven into the road surface as efficiently.
- Drivers are urged to slow down, leave extra following distance, and prepare vehicles for winter with suitable tires and checks on the battery and oil.
- Cyclists are advised to lower the saddle and let some air out of tires to improve grip on icy paths.
