DR ‹ › The National Road Safety Agency has urged all road users to exercise maximum caution and postpone non-essential travel as severe weather is expected from Tuesday, with heavy rain, thunderstorms, snowfall, and strong winds forecast in several regions. In a statement issued Monday, the agency called on drivers, especially public transport and freight operators, to closely follow weather alerts and plan their trips accordingly. It warned that such conditions significantly increase the risk of road accidents and stressed the need for strict compliance with traffic rules. Motorists are advised to ensure their vehicles are in proper working condition, including brakes, tires, lights, and windshield wipers, and to avoid driving while fatigued. The agency also emphasized the importance of reducing speed, adapting driving to road and weather conditions, and maintaining a safe distance between vehicles. Drivers should be cautious on wet, snowy, or icy roads, use appropriate tires when needed, and take extra care at night or in fog. They are also urged to avoid crossing flooded bridges, respect road signs, and watch out for vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. The agency called on all citizens to adhere to these safety recommendations, stressing that collective vigilance helps save lives and prevent road accidents.
