Although the autumn has just begun, the aura has not been conducive to walking for a long time. Rain and falling faster and faster is a recipe for deducting a pedestrian every autumn and fall season.
Each of us is obliged to have reflective materials outside the built-up area, but it is also worth thinking about in the city. – There are places where pedestrians often just cannot be seen. A perfect example is Kosciuszko Street. There are lanterns there, but there are also many trees that cover both light and pedestrians. If someone stands at the pedestrian crossing, it’s hard to notice him from the car, and when it rains, it becomes invisible. You have to have your eyes to the wheel – says Lessen.
From the beginning of September, policemen have been appealing to pedestrians with caution wearing reflective vests. In the vicinity, there was a fatal deduction of a pedestrian. He passed through the A4 motorway. Without reflective elements, the clothing was completely invisible to the drivers. – Pedestrians as so-called unprotected road users in the face of speeding vehicles are defenseless. An accident with them involves extremely serious consequences – says Mariel Kowalski, KPP spokesperson.
It also reminds about pedestrian duties on the road: – You should wear reflections, especially at dusk, when the visibility is worse, and the dark colors of the clothes cause that the pedestrian is noticed by the driver until the last moment. Pedestrian equipped with reflective tapes for the driver is visible from a much greater distance, which allows for an earlier reaction – he adds. It’s a good idea to set up a reflex and take care of your safety.
