There are long and relatively slippery lines on the E18 at Drammen in Viken on Monday. – Leave the car, recommends the traffic operator in Vegtrafikksentralen.

– There are difficult conditions in the areas around Drammen. In some places, the snow has settled. There will be a lot of rain throughout the day, so conditions will not be easy, says traffic operator Kjetil Løvås in Vegtrafikksentralen to Drammens Tidende.

Løvås also says that there was a lot of traffic on Monday, but that there are bulldozers on the road.

– Leave the car stopped

– Be prepared for reduced accessibility. Be careful and considerate, there is no need to get impatient. Pay attention to those who work on the road, they have priority and are on the road to make it easier for motorists, says the traffic operator.

Løvås asks people to observe the conditions before getting into the car.

– If conditions become demanding and you do not have to use a car, we recommend that you leave the car. If you’re going to go out first, you need to have the necessary tires and the windshield wipers need to work to get visibility, he says.
