We have already conducted two runs over night but due to the heavy snow showers in the early hours we are conducting a third run with snow ploughs fitted in order to keep the main roads open. Please only drive if necessary and take care at all times if out and about on the roads.
We are already out getting more salt down in areas where snow is falling. Another full run is planned in 2 hours also. Salt does not stop snow settling but does help prevent ice forming underneath. Take care at all times.
Constant gritting during the night and snow ploughs in action around the county. (3 Runs in total) We are currently dealing with drifting snow across the network. We are working with local farmers to help clear the drifting snow. Dangerous conditions, please take .
We're going to have to go ahead and debunk this one, although we did have to go out and double-check it! Work on Roman Bank isn't going to take 7,000 years -- nice try though, it's a pretty good photoshop job!
We have completed 2 runs during the night. Salt does not stop snow settling but does stop ice forming underneath and helps thawing with traffic flow. Please take care if you need to drive today.
Whilst these markings have certainly succeeded in drawing attention (and raising a few eyebrows), we hold our hands up; this was a mistake and we’re sorry. We’re going to remove them as soon as we can and replace them with something a bit more conventional
