LVC explains that ice will form on the roads and driving conditions may be particularly difficult.
Road maintenance works may not be effective in such weather, icing may also form after the roads are sprinkled with anti-slip materials.
Particularly difficult driving conditions will be on gravel roads during winter, which are maintained by a layer of snow in winter. To improve driving conditions, their dangerous places are sprinkled with anti-slip materials and grooved, but again, these maintenance works are not effective.
LVC invites you to take into account the weather forecast and plan additional time for the road, but if the driving conditions will be very difficult, to postpone trips as much as possible.
LETA has already reported that tonight and on the night of Tuesday, January 7, precipitation is expected in all of Latvia – snowfall, which will move from the southwest to another, forecasters predict.
The Center for Environment, Geology and Meteorology of Latvia has issued an orange warning for heavy freezing rain throughout the country, which will form ice on wires, tree branches, roads and other surfaces. Aftershocks can affect road and rail traffic, air traffic, and pedestrian traffic.
