Sprinkle nicely
Gritter trucks have spread almost a million kilos of salt on Dutch roads today. Rijkswaterstaat was quite busy with gritters because slippery conditions were expected.
The gritters that Rijkswaterstaat sent on the road last night due to expected slippery conditions have so far already spread 990,777 kilos of salt. More interesting facts about Rijkswaterstaat’s spreading activities? We have that.
For example, a total of 1,057,674 kilos of salt has already been spread since October 1. Since that date, Rijkswaterstaat’s gritters have jointly driven 17,457 kilometers. They have traveled no less than 16,225 kilometers since Monday evening.
The KNMI has issued code yellow for large parts of the center and east of the country for today. From 3 p.m. there would be a risk of slippery conditions, including due to snowfall and freezing of wet parts of the road. This morning there was a very heavy morning rush hour and the evening rush hour is also estimated by the ANWB as a heavy one.
