The Road Safety Authority (RSA), is asking road users to exercise caution while using the roads today as Met Éireann has issued Orange and Yellow weather warnings for strong winds.
An Orange weather warning is in place for Munster, Leinster and South Galway from 4pm until 9pm today with southwest to west winds with mean speeds of 65 to 80km/h and gusts of 110 to 130km/hr expected as Storm Eleanor moves in off the Atlantic. Very high seas along Atlantic coasts mean there will be a risk of coastal flooding.
A Yellow weather warning is also in place for Ireland with southwest to west winds with mean speeds of 55 to 65 km/h with gusts of 90 to 110km/hr expected between 4pm and tomorrow (Wed).
The RSA is asking road users to check local weather and traffic conditions and be aware of the conditions before setting out on a trip.
