A yellow warning for snow has been sent out this Tuesday, but for now traffic is running as normal in Oslo and the surrounding area. – There have been plow trucks out and shoveling continuously since the snow started yesterday, says traffic operator at Veitrafikksentralen Mikael Olsen. And they only give up when the snow gives up. – Then you can start fine-tuning the road after that. They don’t go to bed quite yet, he says. According to Yr. now the snow should subside during the morning hours. It will return closer to the afternoon, but not as much as last night. Encourages good driving – Take it easy. Focus on driving and nothing else, urges Operations Manager at the Eastern Police District, Terje Marstad. Marstad says that it is sometimes slippery under the snow. – In the south of the district, we have reinforced with more patrols at work. There is an expectation that people will drive off the road and drive into another from behind and so on. At 06.30 there was a collision between a plow truck and a passenger car on the E16 near Vormsund school. This creates traffic problems in the area. – You have to calculate more time than you normally do. The plow trucks usually travel at 45–50 kilometers per hour. They do an important job, but they drive much slower than what you might want to do on the motorway, says Marstad. Calculate plenty of time Routes experience delays in public transport. – The vast majority of the buses run as they should, but with delays, says Cathrine Myhren-Haugen, press officer at Ruter. – People may drive a little more carefully and that is good. But then there will quickly be queues and delays. Travelers are asked to allow plenty of time, and follow updated information in the travel app.
