Traffic Notice: Road Closures due to severe weather conditions

21 September 2024 | From Arrive Alive


URGENT NOTICE FOR MOTORISTS 

Please be advised that several sections of the N3 around the Midlands have been closed due to heavy snow and hazardous driving conditions. The weather is extremely severe, and it is currently unsafe to travel.

Additionally, snow has also been reported in Ladysmith, Dundee, and surrounding areas, where road conditions are similarly dangerous. 

Avoid all travel today. For your safety, please remain at home. Despite the excitement of the snowfall, traveling is strongly discouraged.

Rescue workers are actively responding to emergencies, including efforts to assist those stranded overnight, and they are working tirelessly to locate and assist a cardiac emergency patient and children stranded in a bus. Please do not add to their burden by putting yourself at risk.

For your safety, and that of the rescue teams, we urge you to cancel any travel arrangements. The road conditions are extremely dangerous, and we ask everyone to prioritize safety above all else.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those who are stuck and with the courageous responders working to save lives.
