Over the weekend, temperature fluctuations are expected across the country, from positive during the day to negative at night. Heavy snowfall and icy conditions can pose a serious hazard to road users.
The State Automobile Inspectorate recommends that motorists not rush to change their winter tires to summer ones. Those who have already prepared their vehicles for the warm season should refrain from traveling in bad weather.It is important to remember that slippery road surfaces do not immediately become safe after being treated with anti-icing agents; reagents require a certain amount of time and traffic intensity to work.
Basic rules for drivers: maintain a safe speed and distance, avoid sudden maneuvers and braking.
Pedestrians need to understand that on a slippery road, the braking distance increases significantly, and during emergency braking, a vehicle can go into an uncontrolled skid. It is necessary to behave predictably for others, cross the road only in designated areas and only after ensuring that all drivers have noticed you and are able to stop. In bad weather, do not use personal mobility devices. In the dark, on unlit streets and outside the city, make yourself visible with reflective elements!
In difficult weather conditions, round-the-clock monitoring of the street and road network is organized, and the work of traffic police personnel is focused on assisting road users.
