Councillor Tyler Hawkins, from the authority’s Highways department, also said: “Although gritting vehicles are designed for winter conditions, severe weather, particularly black ice, can make some routes difficult to navigate.
“The safety of our staff and the public remain our top priority, but conditions can still be unpredictable.”
He urged people to take greater care on the roads as the treacherous conditions “could worsen” in the coming weeks.
There are currently a number of severe weather warnings throughout the UK ahead of Storm Goretti, which is expected to bring heavy snowfall to parts of the country, including Yorkshire.
