According to Belhydromet, precipitation (snow, wet snow, and rain in the southwestern part of the country) is expected in many regions today. Fog and black ice are forecast in some areas, with icy conditions on separate road sections.
Drivers should be aware that the combination of these factors can lead to sudden changes in road surface conditions along different route sections. Please follow these basic recommendations:- Maintain a safe speed, distance, and lateral interval; - Adopt a restrained driving style, avoiding abrupt manoeuvres; - To prevent skidding, accelerate, decelerate, and steer smoothly; - Exercise particular caution when navigating road curves, bridges, overpasses, and pedestrian crossings, where ice forms first; - On open, windswept terrain, keep both hands on the steering wheel and be prepared for sudden gusts of wind.
Operating a vehicle not equipped with winter tyres or with tread wear exceeding the maximum permissible limit is strictly prohibited!
During precipitation, pedestrians should make themselves visible with high-visibility clothing, and in darkness, they must use reflective elements that are visible to drivers. Observe traffic rules, crossing the road only at designated locations and only after ensuring that all vehicles are able to stop.
Refrain from using personal mobility devices and bicycles.
