Ballina Shire Council is asking motorists to drive safely over the coming days with king tides leading to minor flooding of some local roads.
The Council says that, where possible, motorists, motorcyclists, pedestrians and cyclists should avoid affected roads.
It says the tides will be occurring during the evenings, and that salt water may also affect a car’s bodywork and maintenance.
Roads likely to be affected by king tides and saltwater flooding include:
• Tamar Street, Ballina
• Riverside Drive, West Ballina
• River Street, West Ballina
• Burns Point Ferry Road, West Ballina
• North Creek Road, North Ballina
• Southern Cross Drive, North Ballina
• Uralba Road, Uralba
• Old Bangalow Road, Tintenbar, and
• Tamarind Dr, Cumbalum
