Motorists urged to take care on snowy roads

Tue, 06 Feb 2018

Police are urging motorists to take care while driving around the Island this morning after snow fell overnight.

Officers are particularly warning of conditions on higher ground, and are encouraging drivers to stick to arterial routes rather than untreated minor roads where possible.

The Mountain Road is closed because of the conditions, while a yellow weather warning is in place until 9pm today.

Isle of Man Transport has confirmed all of its services are operating as normal.

The Department of Infrastructure gritted some roads yesterday evening ahead of the snowfall.
