The city administration of Odessa reminds residents of the importance of adhering to safety measures during icy conditions:
- Wear comfortable shoes with a textured sole. Avoid high heels.
- Be very cautious when moving on icy surfaces. It's better to avoid slippery areas. Walk slowly with slightly bent knees, distributing your weight evenly on your feet.
- Exercise extra caution when crossing the street — do not run. Remember that a vehicle's stopping distance increases significantly on ice.
- At bus stops, stand back from the edge of the road to avoid slips and falls into traffic.
- Keep your hands out of your pockets while walking to reduce the risk of injury if you fall. Use handrails when going down stairs.
- Pregnant women are advised not to go out without an escort.
