Additional traffic police patrols are on duty on the roads, accompanying columns of snow-clearing equipment. Motorists are strongly advised to refrain from private car trips and use public transport. If trips are necessary, special attention should be paid: do not hinder equipment, observe speed limits, maintain distance and side interval, avoid sudden maneuvers and braking.

Law enforcement also asks not to stand along the roadway so as not to obstruct the work of snow-clearing equipment, and not to overtake it.

If it is still necessary to drive a private car for a long distance, one should consider road conditions, vehicle condition, driving skills, and always use seat belts.
