Warning vests are designed to make the route safer

18,000 pieces are distributed in the third school week.

With the distribution of 18,000 warning vests to the schoolchildren, Upper Austrian Civil Protection and the State of Upper Austria are again contributing to the promotion of traffic safety at schools. Under the motto “Safe school path”, a comprehensive coverage of civil protection safety bags with reflective vests will take place in the third school week.

 

Motorists see children earlier

Civil Protection President NR-Ed. Michael Hammer recommends that the parents wear the warning vests to their children in the spare time, because the tins will be visible to 150 and not only to 30 meters for other traffic users. As usual, it is to be checked again in the winter months whether the warning vests are worn. Manfred Limbic and the regional councilors Gunter and Elmer were positive: 50 percent of the children were wearing the safety vests.
