According to Belhydromet, today in Vitebsk and the region there will be snow, ice on separate sections of roads, air temperature -14..-16.Snowfall, ice, and sharp temperature fluctuations significantly worsen road conditions, which substantially affects traffic safety.
The Internal Affairs Directorate of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee warns road users to exercise increased vigilance and attention!
Drivers must choose the safest possible speed, maintain distance and lateral clearance, and avoid dangerous overtaking.
It should be remembered that when braking in icy conditions, the tyre-road friction coefficient is lower than on dry and clean pavement.
Pedestrians must also observe the rules of safe behaviour in conditions of snowfall and slippery roads. When waiting for a green traffic light or transport, you should stand well away from the edge of the carriageway. When crossing the road on a green traffic light, you must ensure that all vehicles have stopped.
