Heavy snowfall is currently occurring across most of the country. Tonight, precipitation will intensify and continue through Sunday afternoon, which will complicate road conditions.
On slippery roads, it is necessary not only to observe the speed limits established by traffic regulations but also to choose the safest speed considering the road surface condition and visibility. Increase the following distance and avoid sudden maneuvers. Be sure to fasten your seatbelt, and transport children in special restraint systems. Be attentive in forest breaks, on bridges, and in exposed sections of highways where rapid ice formation and snowdrifts may occur during precipitation.
In turn, it is important for pedestrians to remember that a car cannot be stopped instantly, and the braking distance significantly increases on icy roads. At pedestrian crossings, do not start crossing until all vehicles have stopped. During precipitation and in darkness, mark yourself with retroreflective elements.
