Danger of slippery roads in Saarland: How drivers can get through the winter safely

In Saarland, the German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a serious warning about slippery conditions. This affects all regions of the country and applies from the evening of December 22nd, 2024, especially from 7:00 p.m. Frosty temperatures between 0 and -3 degrees Celsius not only create slippery conditions on the roads, but also critical conditions that will last until the morning of December 23rd. Due to this extreme weather, drivers are advised to avoid unnecessary journeys and be particularly careful!

How weather.com reported, the slippery conditions caused by freezing moisture and hoar frost could result in significant traffic disruptions. Drivers should ensure their vehicles are equipped with approved winter tires as certain tires are no longer permitted this year. Particular caution is required as the slippery conditions can affect not only the roads, but also sidewalks and other public areas.

Instructions for citizens

The authorities recommend that you regularly check the current weather warnings as the situation can change quickly. For additional information, the DWD offers a list of current warnings in Saarland on its website. It is important to prepare for the cold nights ahead and take appropriate precautions when planning trips. Stay informed and act accordingly to get through the winter conditions safely!
