Today, snow, wet snow, and rain are forecast for most of the country. Slush and icy conditions are possible on the roads.
Drivers in adverse weather conditions should adopt a restrained driving style and a safe speed, maintain distance and side clearance. Exercise particular caution when passing pedestrian crossings, and avoid unnecessary lane changes, overtakes, and passing. All occupants of a vehicle must wear seatbelts.
Pedestrians should remember that the stopping distance of a vehicle increases significantly on slippery roads, and during emergency braking, a vehicle may go into an uncontrolled skid. In this regard, pedestrians must cross the road only at designated places, ensuring that all vehicles have time to stop. During hours of darkness, reflective elements should be used.
Take care of yourself and others!
