YOU MAKE THE ROAD SAFER
There are several types of road users, each with its own level of vulnerability. Depending on the circumstances, we can belong to a certain type - driver, passenger, motorcyclist, cyclist or pedestrian. Each of us plays an important role in shaping traffic.
Safety rules for motorcyclists

motorcycle drivers
Reduce your chances of having an accident by following these tips:
1. Practice emergency braking and avoiding obstacles in safe places regularly. If you haven't driven for several months, start practicing in an empty parking lot.
2. Be visible to drivers. Do everything you can to stay out of the driver's blind spot.
3. Pay close attention to traffic. Don't expect to be seen and automatically let in - others can't accurately judge the distance and your speed.
4. Use signals. Let other road users know what you are going to do so they can understand your next move and react in time.
5. Drive as smoothly as possible. Choose a route in advance, adjust it and perform the maneuver as smoothly as possible.
6. Maintain a safe speed. Drive at a speed that allows you to stop or swerve out of the way of the vehicle in time.
for motorcycle passengers
Remember that motorcycle passengers must also follow the rules!
1. Be sure to wear a protective helmet correctly. Passengers can only be transported on a motorcycle equipped with special footrests, on which the passenger must keep his feet.
2. If the passenger's feet do not reach the footrests, such a passenger cannot move around using the motorcycle.

pedestrians!
1. Try to make eye contact with drivers – don't assume the driver saw you anyway.
2. Remove your headphones and don't use your phone while crossing the road.
3. Be careful at intersections and watch for the "turn signals" of drivers who are standing in front of the pedestrian crossing. Drivers may not see you.
4. Always cross the road only in authorized places. Obey traffic signs and pedestrian signals.
5. During heavy rain or at night, wear reflective clothing/equipment and a flashlight so that drivers can see you.
6. On rural roads without sidewalks, try to be as visible as possible and walk along the edge of the road towards oncoming traffic. This way, oncoming drivers will notice you.
