Highland Council has issued its winter road condition report for today (Tuesday).
Maps of the Council’s gritting routes by priority and policy are available online at https://www.highland.gov.uk/gritting
The local authority stresses that the information provided "is a summary of reports from operational staff and is intended to give a general indication of typical conditions in each area at a point in time" and is not intended to imply that any individual route is entirely snow and ice free.
It says drivers must be aware that conditions can change rapidly and make their own assessment of conditions for travelling.
