Les autorités locales continuent de mettre en garde les automobilistes contre les risques élevés sur les routes, en recommandant une prudence accrue, une réduction de la vitesse, et une vigilance constante face aux surfaces glissantes. Les services d’urgence restent en alerte pour répondre à toute nouvelle situation liée aux conditions de circulation difficiles.

La population est encouragée à suivre les directives des services de police et de transport, et à éviter tout déplacement non essentiel si les conditions météorologiques ou routières se détériorent davantage.
