Due to adverse weather conditions, the State Automobile Inspectorate urges all road users to be maximally attentive and cautious! If possible, refrain from travelling by private transport, and especially postpone long-distance journeys.
Operating a vehicle not equipped with winter tires or with tread wear exceeding the maximum permissible limit is strictly prohibited!If you must drive, it is necessary to choose the safest possible speed, increase the following distance and lateral clearance, as the braking distance on snow and ice increases significantly. Ensure everyone in the car is wearing a seatbelt, and children are transported in appropriate restraint systems. Avoid any sudden movements or maneuvers that could lead to loss of control.
You should reduce your speed to a minimum in advance before pedestrian crossings and intersections, railway crossings, and be prepared for sudden gusts of wind and snowdrifts in exposed areas.
In conditions of poor visibility, it is important for pedestrians to use reflective elements, stay away from the edge of the roadway, look around, and be predictable. Cross the road only at designated places, ensuring that drivers see you and have time to stop.
The State Automobile Inspectorate is taking urgent measures to ensure safe traffic conditions, and work is organised for prompt road clearing.
Police officers are focused on assisting citizens. If you find yourself in a difficult situation on the road, please report it by calling 102 or to the Ministry of Internal Affairs chatbot "We are always there!"
