Today, traffic police throughout the country conduct national control and prevention activities in the name of “unprotected road users”. They are designed to improve the safety of pedestrians and cyclists – these road users are particularly vulnerable to the tragic consequences of these events in accidents.
During the course of the operation, the supervision will cover areas that are particularly dangerous for pedestrians. That is, passages where pedestrians are detained through busy roads. Police officers will pay attention to whether drivers are trying to use “stronger laws” related to pedestrians, such as exercising priority at a crossroads, especially during so-called “green arrows”.
We remind managers that the school year has begun and that children and adolescents can be found on the roads near the school. These are road users who should be given special attention. It happens that children, especially when they move around in a group and focus on conversation. They act unscrupulously, such as crossing the road or walking the wrong road.
Currently, the police are carrying out activities “safe way to go to school” focusing on the safety of children and adolescents near the school. We are promoting the drivers so they can drive carefully and focus on the youngest participants in the movement.
Regardless of the season, the driver should clearly see unprotected road users. Therefore, pedestrians must wear reflective vests, especially where required by regulations, that is, after darkness outside the building area. Remember, when preparing a school for beginners, be sure to put a reflective element(like reflective vests or reflective tapes) on his coat.
The use of reflective materials increases the visibility of the pedestrian several times, giving the driver more time to perform the manipulation of the pass or brake.
