The crews of the Sverdlovsk region are working in an enhanced mode

The Sverdlovsk Region State Traffic Inspectorate urges drivers and pedestrians to be extremely careful: the weather is dangerous for traffic in the region. The temperature is kept at the level of -2 to -6 degrees, in places it snows and loose snow cover is formed on the roads, the press service of the state traffic inspection in the Sverdlovsk region reports.

Especially risky areas are considered bridges, overpasses, ascents and descents, as well as intersections, where drivers often have to brake sharply. Due to the slippery coating, the adhesion of the tires with the road deteriorates, and the braking distance increases markedly. In such conditions, it is critically important to use winter tires and adjust the driving style: move at reduced speed, keep an increased distance, do not make sharp maneuvers and overtaking. All corners and braking should be performed smoothly, resetting speed before intersections and pedestrian crossings.

Pedestrians should also exercise caution: safety should be ensured before crossing the road, especially near stops and in unregulated areas. In conditions of poor visibility will help the use of reflective elements on clothing.

DPS crews are working in enhanced mode and monitor the situation on the most dangerous sections of the tracks.
