Drivers are also being given the following advice:  

· Listen to local radio bulletins for road closures before setting off · Leave extra time for a journey if it is necessary

· Don’t drive into floodwater – you don’t know how deep it is

· Make sure you’re prepared if you get caught in a traffic jam – with enough fuel, your mobile phone battery fully charged, and food and drink

· Be wary of high winds and the extra risks they may bring

· Take extra care if driving through standing water alongside pedestrians or cyclists You can report any problems on the roads by calling Gloucestershire Highways on 08000 514 514.
