Murmanchan warned about the danger on the roads due to rain and darkness

Rainy weather and early dark require increased attention from drivers and pedestrians in Murmansk. On a wet road, the braking distance increases, and in conditions of poor visibility it is more difficult for drivers to notice a person on the roadway in time. This was reported in the Ministry of Transport and Roads of the Murmansk region.

Motorists are advised to choose the speed taking into account the state of the road, keep the distance and reduce the speed in advance before pedestrian crossings. Particular care should be taken during rain and dusk.

It is important for pedestrians to cross the road only in designated places, having previously made sure that drivers noticed them and have time to stop. Before the transition, you should remove the phone, remove headphones and not be distracted by extraneous things. The hood, umbrella and other items should not limit the view.

In autumn weather, road safety depends on the attention of all road users. Even at a pedestrian crossing, you should not go to the roadway without making sure that it is safe.

Earlier, “MK in Murmansk” reported that Murmansk road services will prepare equipment for snowfall and ice.
