Adverse Weather : Special notice to drivers travelling on the expressway

May 13, 2026 at 10:41 AM

The Road Development Authority (RDA) has called on motorists to pay close attention to cautionary messages displayed on electronic boards along the expressway as adverse weather continues to affect driving conditions.

The RDA noted that poor weather has brought darkness and mist even during daytime hours, advising drivers to switch on their headlights while travelling.

The RDA further instructed motorists to maintain speeds within the 60 km/h limit, keep safe distances between vehicles, and avoid sudden braking at high speeds, which could lead to accidents.

The advisory comes as heavy rain and mist reduce visibility on Sri Lanka’s expressways. (Newswire)
