The State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of Belarus asks drivers and pedestrians to be extremely careful in difficult weather conditions.
The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported this on Telegram.
Recommendations of the State Traffic Inspectorate
Today, wet snow and rain are observed in many areas of the country. Air temperature fluctuates between -2 and +4 degrees, formation of ice and fog is possible. Such weather can worsen the road situation.
When driving in conditions of poor visibility, you should increase your distance and turn on your low beam headlights.
It is not recommended to turn on the high beam: it creates a dense curtain of light in front of the car. It can blind the driver.
The State Traffic Inspectorate calls on drivers to choose a restrained driving style and avoid sudden maneuvers.
Due to wet weather, the shoulders of country roads often become unsuitable for pedestrians. Drivers should be prepared for their appearance on the roadway.
The State Traffic Inspectorate also reminded that from December 1, cars must be equipped with winter tires.
The State Traffic Inspectorate calls on pedestrians to wear high-visibility clothing and, in the dark, reflective elements.
The State Traffic Inspectorate also calls on pedestrians to comply with traffic regulations and cross the roadway only in permitted places and after making sure that cars have stopped.
