Ice warning for SH36

Ice is expected to have formed on State Highway 36 this morning. File photo.

Motorists travelling between Tauranga and Rotorua are being warned to watch out for ice on the highway.

The NZTA has issued an area warning this morning for icy conditions in the area.

'Take extra care while driving on this section of the highway.”

With colder temperatures nipping at our heels, more icy conditions can be expected on the roads.

At 6.45am, it was 3C in Tauranga. Today's daily high is expected to reach 15C.

No grit?

If the authorities knew enough to give an ice warning why not grit the road in advance? There usually has to be a couple of crashes before any remedial action is taken. There was a crash this morning so we will see what happens tomorrow...
