Pedestrians watch out for Icicles and roof avalanches

Heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures cause hazards not only to drivers but also to pedestrians. In spring, when the temperatures during the day go up snow and ice starts to melt. Falling icicles and roof avalanches can be extremely dangerous. Pedestrians should always be aware of the danger and be cautious when walking along buildings.
