In rainy weather, drivers need to select the appropriate speed, and also strictly observe the distance and lateral clearance. These rules are dictated primarily by the wet asphalt surface, on which the braking distance sharply increases. When entering a rain band, you should immediately reduce speed smoothly and refrain from sharp maneuvers and braking. It is recommended to drive with dipped headlights on. Increased attention is required when passing intersections and pedestrian crossings.

  Pedestrians should be especially careful when crossing the road. The State Automobile Inspectorate reminds that crossing the roadway is only permitted in designated areas. Pedestrians should make themselves visible with reflective elements and try to wear something bright or light-coloured to be more noticeable to drivers. To improve visibility, remove hoods and put away umbrellas before crossing the road.
