Bicyclists and pedestrians are also on the roadside. And it was precisely on them that the traffic safety actions of police officers.
The event was about walking and cladding seen by other road users, even after dark, under dim lighting conditions.
“Traffic safety actions took place in the afternoon and evening hours,” Eva, spokesperson for the Czech Police said.
Traffic police officers, as well as their colleagues from the district departments carrying out the patrol service, did not stay in one place during the event, but the places alternated. On mobile stations, they checked whether riders on bicycles and pedestrians kept their obligation to be marked with reflective materials even in low visibility when moving outside the village.
“None of those checked did find any mistakes,” Eva confirmed, with the police distributing reflective tapes or braces at the event. “During the event, colleagues checked a total of thirty-three pedestrians and seven cyclists,” the spokesman added.
The obligation to be visibly labeled with elements reflecting reflector light, reduced visibility while driving or walking outside the village has been in force in the Czech Republic since February 2016.
