Preventive recommendations for safe road traffic:

In order to avoid getting involved in road accidents, the police recommend that traffic participants strictly follow the traffic rules, constantly adapt their speed to the road conditions and inform themselves about the weather conditions and the road sections they will travel. Drive with caution, increase the safety distance when walking, constantly adapt your speed to the weather and traffic conditions and do not engage in risky maneuvers.

In conditions of congested traffic, unfavorable weather conditions may cause temporary road blocks to appear. Keep calm, don’t forget road courtesy and don’t block intersections! Do not engage in overtaking vehicles without good visibility and perform each maneuver in traffic only after thorough insurance.

Do not drink alcohol or drive if you feel tired! Do not use your mobile phone while driving and use the systems to communicate hands-free.

Pedestrians are asked to take all precautions to ensure that they are seen in traffic by drivers. At the same time, we advise them to drive only on the sidewalks, to cross the street in the permitted places, at the green color of the electric traffic light and only after they are sure that their intention to cross has been noticed by the drivers!

Note: We make it clear that, in the presented cases, carrying out the criminal investigation is a stage of the criminal process regulated by the Code of Criminal Procedure, an activity that cannot, in any situation, defeat the principle of the presumption of innocence.
