The first accidents occurred on the West Brabant motorways due to slipperiness. This was the case for the A4 near Steenbergen and Willemstad and the A58 near Bergen op Zoom, police said. In the provinces of Zeeland and South Holland, code orange has been in place since 5pm this afternoon due to black ice. The alert will be in effect for the whole country from half past eight.
Rijkswaterstaat has already sprayed long before coding orange. By the end of the afternoon, 1 million kilos of salt had been spread on the roads of our country. Just like the police, Rijkswaterstaat recommends only traveling if necessary.
