From November 20 to 26, 2024, the traffic police will hold a preventive event "Save Your Life!"
Analysis of road accidents in the republic indicates a significant number of traffic incidents involving vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, including those under the influence of alcohol, which are characterized by severe consequences.
In the upcoming period, weather conditions (precipitation, fog, wind gusts, etc.) will significantly influence the overall accident situation and the safety of vulnerable road users in particular.
The continuing reduction in daylight hours contributes to an increase in conflict situations on routes where vehicle and pedestrian paths intersect.
We remind PEDESTRIANS that before starting to move, it is necessary to ensure that entering the roadway is safe, then stop at the edge of the roadway and look around. In the dark and in conditions of poor visibility, it is mandatory to make yourself visible with reflective elements. We strongly recommend CYCLISTS to wear high-visibility vests!
Drivers need to be extremely careful and attentive, reducing speed in advance when approaching pedestrian crossings and being able to stop. Outside populated areas, it is also necessary to be vigilant and adhere to the speed limit.
