Narsa Issues Urgent Weather Advisory: Prioritizing Road Safety During Adverse Conditions

Narsa is urging all road users to exercise extreme caution and take necessary precautions to ensure road safety during this period of heightened traffic movement.

The agency emphasizes the critical role of vehicle maintenance and driver preparedness. It is imperative for drivers of all vehicle types, including private cars, taxis, public transport buses, and cargo trucks, to adhere strictly to road safety regulations and preventive measures. Narsa highlights the responsibility of drivers to respect the rules of the road, exercise tolerance towards other road users, and prioritize the following:

  • Before hitting the road, ensure your vehicle undergoes thorough mechanical maintenance and technical inspection. Check all safety features, ensuring they are in optimal condition and free from any technical faults that could lead to accidents. Pay special attention to tires, lighting systems, brakes, suspension, and windshield wipers.
     
  •  Drivers must be well-rested to maintain focus and alertness during their journey. Fatigue and exhaustion can impair judgment, affect distance and speed perception, and lead to delayed decision-making, which can be dangerous.
     
  • If traveling long distances, plan your route in advance to avoid unexpected surprises and potential hazards.

Narsa further advises road users to exercise caution, especially when overtaking, and to double their attention while driving at night. It is crucial to avoid skidding by driving carefully on wet roads and maintaining a safe speed. The use of appropriate rubber tires is recommended, and drivers should avoid excessive speeding and forming tight convoys. Additionally, Narsa emphasizes the importance of respecting rules related to overtaking, stopping, and parking, and avoiding sudden maneuvers.

This advisory serves as a timely reminder of the importance of road safety, especially during adverse weather conditions. By following these guidelines, we can collectively work towards reducing road accidents and ensuring a safe journey for all. Stay vigilant, and let's prioritize safety on our roads!
