Law enforcement officers urge to follow traffic rules, yield to each other, and not to park cars haphazardly, so as not to complicate passage and road cleaning.
"In snowy conditions, it is necessary to use low beam headlights (or fog lights), observe speed limits and parking rules (so as not to interfere with snow removal equipment). Be careful when driving on bridges and overpasses, avoid risky maneuvers that, in adverse weather conditions, could lead to emergency situations. If you need to stop, reduce speed gradually. And when stopping, be sure to turn on hazard warning lights," the statement says.
