Drivers are strongly advised to choose the safest speed and distance, avoid rash overtakes and lane changes, and increase attention when approaching pedestrian crossings. It is important to ensure the safe transportation of children and passengers.
Pedestrians should walk on sidewalks, pedestrian or bicycle paths, and if these are unavailable, along the roadside. In the dark, it is mandatory to use reflective elements to make yourself visible.
Motorcyclists must primarily adhere to the speed limit, monitor the situation using mirrors, and be cautious when changing lanes. When riding a motorcycle or moped, low beam headlights should be switched on. Both the driver and passenger must wear fastened motorcycle helmets.
