Guidelines for the public and safety rules and proper conduct in stormy weather
Authorities must report any danger of trees collapsing and objects flying due to strong winds, as well as tying / securing dangerous objects that could fly as a result of the winds on balconies and gardens and lead to injury to passers-by.
It is advisable to forgo unnecessary travel or hikes in streams and areas that may be flooded in the face of inclement weather. It is recommended to contact the competent authorities before embarking on a field trip in order to obtain vital and up-to-date information.
Drivers and road users
The travel speed must be adapted to the road conditions and slowed down significantly when entering curves and making sharp turns.
Road lights should be turned on during the entire trip and drive slowly and carefully especially when there is a cold on the road due to the danger of slipping.
When the road is wet, the braking distance increases. It is therefore necessary to maintain a greater distance from the vehicle in front. Holding the steering wheel with both hands as entering with the vehicle into a puddle, and pits hidden by water accumulation on the road - can cause a sudden deviation of the vehicle.
Concentrate on driving and avoid distractions with an emphasis on using the cell phone.
Avoid entering puddles whose depth cannot be estimated and beware of other hazards on the road. Avoid crossing water sources and places with strong water flow.
Pay attention to pedestrians - in rainy weather, it is more difficult to spot pedestrians and brake in time. Travel in residential areas should be slowed down and pedestrians given the right of way.
Make sure to refuel the vehicle, and prepare food and drink, medication and a charger for the mobile phone for a long stay in the vehicle.
Before entering the vehicle: It is mandatory to check that the vehicle tires are in good condition and with the required air pressure. Check that the wipers are in good condition and not damaged. Take care to clean the car windows for good visibility. Clean the front and rear headlights.
