Snow and ice

On snow or ice, slow down and avoid any sudden reactions.

  • Whenever possible, postpone your journey if snow is forecast on your route.
  • Drive no closer than 50 m from the vehicle in front.
  • Never overtake snowploughs or other road clearance vehicles.
  • Avoid changing lane.
  • If the situation becomes too difficult, stop at the next rest or service area and wait for instructions from the motorway company personnel.
