"Wearing headphones and not noticing a car" is one of the common causes of traffic accidents!

      To avoid tragic consequences, pedestrians should turn off music and take off their hoods before crossing the roadway. These are simple actions that can save your life. Remember that headphones limit the ability to hear surrounding sounds, including approaching vehicles, and a hood narrows the field of vision, which can prevent you from noticing danger in time. The Traffic Police Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Nizhny Novgorod Region recommends that you familiarize yourself with these simple but important road safety tips: - Cross the road only at pedestrian crossings, making sure there are no approaching vehicles. - Use reflective elements on your clothing at night. - Be attentive and careful; do not get distracted by your phone or other devices. - When on or near the roadway, remove your headphones and hood.
