A new trunk road gritter tracker is being launched on the Traffic Scotland website so that people can check where and when gritters have been active on routes in their areas.
The new system goes live at the beginning of November when the winter patrols get underway.
The tracker is just one of the systems that will be used by Transport Scotland this winter to help mitigate the effects of the weather.
Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said: “We are continuing to invest in innovative equipment, like weather stations so that we can help keep the trunk roads moving.
“The comprehensive network of stations that we have built up are an invaluable tool as they give us an accurate picture of what the real conditions are on the roads, even in some of the most remote locations.
“All of this information is fed into our 24/7 communications network through Traffic Scotland so that road users can make informed decisions about their travel plans and the Trunk Road Gritter Tracker will add to that service.”
