Road users are urged to be careful in areas where there are large concentrations of pedestrians

Due to the significantly increased flow of pedestrians in the center of Daugavpils during the winter holidays, drivers are urged to choose alternative routes, avoiding the intersections of Rigas Street, especially at the intersection with Tsietokshna Street. Pedestrians are urged to take into account current weather conditions: use reflectors in the dark, especially carefully cross streets during precipitation, given that vehicles may have an increased braking distance, according to the municipal portal.

During the holidays, many residents and guests of Daugavpils go to look at the decorations located in the city center and attend various events, especially on the main pedestrian street of the city – Rigas Street. With this in mind, drivers are urged to plan their journeys carefully. Timely route planning and careful driving will help avoid unnecessary traffic jams and guarantee comfortable travel for all road users. We also remind you that traffic arrangements may change during events, so drivers are urged to carefully follow the directions of road signs.

Pedestrians are asked to be especially attentive and disciplined – cross the street only in designated areas, monitor the distance and speed of vehicles, and also refrain from using mobile phones when crossing the roadway. Pedestrians with children should pay more attention to the safety of children and set a positive example of obeying traffic rules.

«Together, by following traffic rules and showing mutual respect, we will create a safe and enjoyable holiday atmosphere in our city“, – they call in self-government.
