The state traffic inspectorate recommends road users to take into account the weather forecast and be extremely careful on the road. "Drivers need to pay extra attention when approaching pedestrian crossings, slow down in advance and be ready to stop the vehicle in time, giving way to pedestrians. In addition, it is worth remembering that when turning left or right, the driver must give way to pedestrians crossing the carriageway along pedestrian crossing, including with simultaneous permission signal for drivers and pedestrians from the traffic controller or traffic lights," the ministry said.

Pedestrians must cross the carriageway at a designated place, and if there is a traffic light, only at a permissive signal, after making sure that the vehicle has stopped and give way to them. At night, to attract the attention of drivers, it is necessary to designate yourself with retroreflective elements.
