In Mari El since the beginning of the year killed nine pedestrians

There were 115 attacks in total. 112 people suffered injuries of varying severity. The leader in the number of such accidents is Yoshkar-Ola, where 57 car accidents occurred.

Of particular concern is the statistics of nocturnal accidents: in conditions of insufficient visibility, 39 collisions took six lives. At the same time, in 64 cases, drivers were recognized as responsible for accidents (four dead, 63 injured).

State traffic inspection reminds: the non-passage of a pedestrian on the “zebra” threatens the motorist with a fine from 1500 to 2500 rubles. The driver is obliged to stop as soon as the person stepped on the roadway, and overtaking at the crossing is strictly prohibited. If the car in front brakes at the zebra, those following it should also immediately slow down or stop.

Pedestrians also need to be extremely vigilant: before entering the road, you need to make sure that the maneuver is completely safe. You should walk strictly on the sidewalks, and at night outside settlements the presence of reflective elements (flickers) on clothing is a mandatory requirement of traffic rules.
