During this period, traffic on the roads increases significantly, which is why it is extremely important to take care of safety. Officers from the Lubin County Police Headquarters appeal to drivers, pedestrians and cyclists alike to exercise increased caution.
“For most people, the period before All Saints’ Day is a time for reflection and contemplation. Some visit local cemeteries, while others travel deeper into the country to spend this time with their loved ones,” say officers from the Social Prevention Team of the Lubin County Police Headquarters. “Regardless of whether we are facing a short or a long journey, we must remember about safety. We remind pedestrians always to wear reflective elements on their outer clothing, and drivers to be even more vigilant on the road, as traffic will be heavier during these days.
They add:
In addition to increased traffic on the roads, drivers may also encounter people lighting candles at places where their loved ones died in road accidents. These are usually particularly dangerous locations, so let us remember to slow down there.
