The Royal Barbados Police Force is advising members of the public to avoid driving unless it is absolutely necessary as Barbados continues to be affected by ash fall from the La Soufriere volcano in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
This ash fall is expected to continue over the next few days and is expected to significantly impact road users in Barbados.
Road users are asked to observe the following guidelines to remain safe while utilising the island’s roadways during this period:
DO NOT DRIVE, unless absolutely necessary. Driving on ash-slickened roads with reduced visibility can be hazardous. If you must drive on the roads, reduce your driving speed. In addition, with significantly reduced visibility you may have to drive with your headlights and rear lights on to ensure that your vehicle is visible to other road users.
