Smoothness expected
If slipperiness is expected due to freezing of wet road sections, a preventive wet spreading action is initiated to prevent roads and cycle paths from becoming slippery.
Sustained smoothness
In the event of persistent slipperiness due to snowfall and/or ice, we will sprinkle the through roads and radials with priority. In this way, emergency services such as the police, ambulance and fire brigade, but also public transport, can move quickly and safely through the city.
The other residential streets (neighbourhoods) will be closed as soon as the through roads are free of snow and ice.
Spreading route
The main roads and cycle paths that will be gritted first are:
- Route public transport and emergency services
- Route main roads, outer ring and center ring
- Cycle paths route
- Centre, shopping area, station and market area
The following roads are then gritted:
- Industrial estate roads
- Other streets and roads
It can still be slippery after spreading. Therefore adjust your speed and drive carefully.
On the card you can see which streets are included in the gritting routes. Adjust your route accordingly in case of bad weather.
