Autumn marks a clear shift on the roads. Shorter days, cooler temperatures and changing weather conditions affect everyone who travels, whether by car, bike or motorcycle. In a recent episode of ACL Knowledge Bites, the focus turns to how road users can adapt safely to this time of year.

Rain, fog and reduced daylight demand extra attention. For drivers, preparation starts with simple checks. Tyres and lights should be in good condition, especially when visibility drops. Allowing more travel time can also reduce stress and help manage slower traffic.

Cyclists and motorcyclists face particular challenges as daylight fades earlier. Reflective clothing and proper lighting become essential tools, helping others see them clearly in low-light conditions. Visibility plays a key role in avoiding accidents during autumn and winter months.

Beyond safety measures, the episode encourages a change in perspective. While autumn is often seen as gloomy, it also brings colourful landscapes across Luxembourg. Driving or cycling through forests and streets filled with red and orange leaves can be enjoyable, as long as caution comes first.

The message is clear. Adjust your habits, look out for others and slow down when needed. And for ACL members, support remains available in all weather conditions, offering reassurance throughout the season.
