The State Traffic Inspectorate of the Yaroslavl Region urged pedestrians to cross the road only at zebra crossings and on a green traffic light, after ensuring safety.
‘During crossing, it is necessary to eliminate all distracting factors (listening to music in headphones, talking on the phone, playing games on gadgets). In dark hours, use reflective elements,’ the department added.
Employees also appealed to all road users with a reminder to comply with traffic rules and be cautious. ‘Remember, safety depends on everyone,’ concluded the traffic police.
