October calls for increased vigilance from all road users.

      With the arrival of October, road conditions become significantly more difficult.

      The short daylight hours combined with early twilight and the lack of snow cover create serious risks for all road users. Drivers need to be especially careful in the evening when pedestrians' dark clothing blends in with the asphalt. Experts recommend always turning on low-beam headlights even during daylight hours, reducing speed when approaching pedestrian crossings, and increasing the distance to the vehicle ahead. Particular caution should be exercised in fog and rain, which are not uncommon during this period.

      It is extremely important for pedestrians to look after their safety. The most effective way to become more visible on the road is to use reflective elements on clothing, bags, and backpacks. Modern manufacturers offer a variety of options—from stickers and bracelets to special patches for outerwear. Even a small reflector makes a person visible to a driver at a distance of 150–200 meters, allowing time to react and avoid a dangerous situation. Bright, light-colored clothing also significantly increases pedestrian safety at night. Parents should pay particular attention to ensuring children’s clothing has reflective elements, as they often return from school in twilight. Mutual courtesy, compliance with traffic rules, and additional precautions will help prevent tragedies on autumn roads.
