RSA repeats 'be careful' message

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is renewing its message for road users to take extra care on the roads as the weather is going to stay very cold for the remainder of the week and into next week.

Met Eireann is advising that driving conditions will be treacherous. Severe or very severe frost is forecast and there is also the risk of ice on un-treated surfaces, along with the risk of some freezing fog.

Road users are urged to check local weather and traffic reports before setting off on a journey. In particular road users should heed any Garda advice urging road users not to make any unnecessary journeys.
