The Road Safety Authority (RSA), is advising people to remain vigilant in the aftermath of storm Ophelia.
Many roads will be treacherous and the RSA is urging road users to expect the unexpected.
The aftermath of Ophelia will see many roads blocked with downed trees, branches, flooded roads and pylons.
Council workers and emergency services will be out clearing these routes and people are being asked to anticipate encountering these scenarios when using the roads.
Drivers need to slow down, keep an extra distance from the vehicle in front and expect the unexpected.
Pedestrians and cyclists should be aware of potential hazards.
The severe winds may have loosened roof tiles and other objects from buildings and these may still pose a potential risk.
Most importantly road users need to obey any road closures or detours that An Garda Síochána or Local Authorities put in place.
For advice on severe weather driving tips, please see severe weather advice on the RSA website or check out the RSA Facebook and Twitter pages.
