icy roads: municipalities have salted

Several places in the country are reporting icy roads, including Morsø Kommune, Jammerbugt Kommune and Aalborg Kommune, where drivers should proceed cautiously. This is according to the Danish Road Directorate's traffic map. A municipality is the local authority in an area.

According to the traffic map, the municipalities have gone out and salted road class 1 and road class 2 roads. This is confirmed by the duty chief at Nordjyllands Politi, which is the police district for North Jutland. According to TV 2 Vejr, the icy roads are the result of the year's first snowfall, which fell on Thursday. TV 2 Nord

Police tighten inspections with winter tyres

Nordjyllands Polisi is intensifying its efforts this winter against drivers who drive with unsuitable tyres in winter conditions. A new law last year gave the police the opportunity to issue fines, and the fine can be 1,000 kr. per tyre if the police assess that the car has unsuitable tyres in relation to the weather.

The head of operational traffic in the police district says that the police do not only inspect tyres in connection with specific incidents such as accidents, but also through routine checks or other contact with the police. DR Nyheder Nordjylland

North Jutland semifinal in the cup tournament

It will be an all-North Jutland showdown when Aalborg Håndbold and Mors-Thy Håndbold meet in the semifinal of the cup tournament. This is now certain, after the two teams both secured their progress in the tournament on Wednesday against Sønderjyske and Skanderborg-AGF respectively, and after the other two teams were found on Thursday evening.

In the other semifinal, Bjerringbro-Silkeborg and Fredericia meet. This means that there will definitely be a North Jutland team in the cup final regardless of the outcome of the matches. Final4 takes place in Boxen in Herning on the weekend of 20 and 21 February. TV 2 Nord
