In some regions of the country, traffic is temporarily blocked due to a difficult flood situation or unfavorable weather. For example, in the Republic of North Ossetia—Alania, traffic on the A-164 Transcam federal highway from the village of Buron (65 km) to the northern portal of the Roki tunnel (94 km) has been temporarily suspended since yesterday evening due to heavy rains and rockfall.

In the Republic of Bashkortostan, traffic on one of the highways of regional importance was temporarily stopped due to flooding of the roadway by flood waters. A similar situation has arisen in the Altai Territory. In the Kurgan region, three regional highways were also blocked due to flooding of the roadway.

The State Traffic Inspectorate recommended that motorists, when planning long-distance trips in these and neighboring regions, monitor the weather forecast and media information from traffic closures or restrictions. In case of a negative forecast, you should temporarily refrain from using personal vehicles.

"We would like to draw the attention of drivers to the fact that during the changing seasons, they should be extremely careful when driving: avoid sudden rash maneuvers and changes of lanes, observe the interval and distance between vehicles, and do not exceed the speed limit. It is necessary to travel by car at any time of the day with external lighting devices turned on, fog lights must be used in bad weather, and in conditions of heavy fog or heavy precipitation, reduce speed as much as possible and move with the alarm lights on. In case of an accident, it is necessary to identify the scene, call the Traffic police, and if there are victims, an ambulance team," Police Colonel Sergei Hrantskevich, head of the Department for Road Safety Promotion and Prevention of child traffic injuries at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, told Izvestia.
