"We strongly advise motorists to drive to the conditions ….the roads can get a bit slippery after rain," he says.
"Drivers need to be aware that the posted speed limits are maximums and they don't need to drive that fast - and drive to the conditions.
"If the road appears to be a little bit risky we really encourage people to slow down and keep their following distances."
