The State Traffic Inspectorate is taking additional measures to ensure road safety, the Interior Ministry’s press service reported.
“Snow and snowstorms are being observed across the country today, with snow buildup and icy conditions on the roads,” the statement said.
The traffic police urged people to limit travel as much as possible. When driving, motorists are advised to maintain a safe speed and increase following distances.
“If snow accumulates on your vehicle while on the road, stop to clear it only in safe locations. In the event of a forced stop on the roadway, try to mark the vehicle in accordance with traffic regulations and leave the roadway as quickly as possible,” the traffic police advised.
In the Homyel region, the traffic police have activated a special plan titled “Weather. Snowdrifts.”
