How to Drive Safely During Rain and Non-Functioning Traffic Lights
In the city, some traffic lights are temporarily out of order and there are adverse weather conditions: follow safety rules☝🏼
Tips for Drivers
- Reduce speed: rain decreases visibility and makes the road surface slippery.
- Maintain a safe distance: the braking distance increases, especially on wet roads.
- Be cautious at intersections: if the traffic light isn’t working, priority rules apply: yield if you are not on the main road.
- If there is a traffic controller at the intersection: follow their signals, as they take precedence over road signs and intersection crossing rules.
- At equal intersections: follow the ‘right-hand rule’ — give way to vehicles approaching from the right.
- Pay attention to pedestrians: they may be less visible due to the rain.
- Turn on low beam headlights: this will help you see the road better and be more visible to others.
- Avoid sharp maneuvers: brake smoothly, avoid sudden turns to maintain control.
Be attentive, take care of yourself and other road users!
