In the street, the child is particularly vulnerable, and hundreds of pedestrians’ children under 14 years are killed every year in road accidents.

The vehicles are stopped before traverse not to run.

 

Adults must set an example, and as the children did not understand these safety rules, continue to monitor and support. Children should be dressed in light-colored clothing or bright color and equipped with backpack or school bag fitted with reflective fabric they are required to walk along the pavement when it is dark, and also very important: the bring down the sidewalk side car.

Volunteers in safety vest help the moving farewell associations to Calais migrants

At the time of the dismantling of the Calais jungle Monday, the associations had come in numbers to direct and reassure migrants in safety vest leaving for the reception centers. Difficult farewell…

 

“Bye bye, thank you…” Thousands of migrants have left the “jungle” of Calais on Monday to go to reception and orientation centers (CAD), not without emotion. In the extension queues, tears, and sometimes smiles, wide ear to ear. Before leaving, some have therefore long entwined, before whispering in his ear that they would meet again soon.

 

Around them, dozens of Interior officials and members of associations came supervise operations, but most say goodbye. In the midst of the crowd, between two gates, one woman in yellow reflective vest is crying. She just said goodbye to a group of refugees. “I’m sad, but hey it’s good for them,” she confides lump in his throat. Brigitte works daily in the “jungle” for a year and a half as a French teacher with the Secours. “We were much attached to them because it’s been the same. But I’m glad they leave because they could not live in such conditions.”

 

It has held the role of father, mother, brother, sister … “Philippe, a volunteer at the Secours. Some associations have virtually born the Calais jungle. This is the case of Salam, where Claire worked since 2009. She also has trouble describing his emotion that day farewell. “We have people who are there every day, giving clothes, shoes, food, blankets, candles, toilet paper … And these people are both very happy and both very sad. It hurts the heart when you see people go, “said the fifties with a tight smile, but moved.”We took the role of father, mother, brother or sister,” said Philippe Secours.

Further, a tall redhead wearing a red and white vest made large gestures to indicate the path to migrants. It is found a few minutes later, also in tears.

 

The Calais page is far from tour

“They are more human than other people. They are amazing,” she insists, glasses fogged with tears. “It’s very hard to say goodbye, but you know it will get better. It will be difficult but not as difficult as their lives here.”

 

But while the Calais jungle living its last days, a question arises: what will make these volunteers in reflective jacket, these agents, these anonymous once everything is finished? For most of them, they do not know it yet. “Keep my life,” Brigitte enjoys a laugh. One thing is certain; the Calais page is far from tour. Some are thinking indeed to stay put a little longer. “I’ll wait to be sure that refugees are well gone, assures. I want to be sure they are safe.” Before we trust that it will take “however long it takes.”

An army of yellow reflective vests for the future line Canal

Preliminary studies of the future tram line “Channel” are visible from a few days in town: officials in yellow reflective vest covered the routes of cars to see traffic flows.

 

If you traveled in the city center these days, you do not miss them: posted along major axes, dressed in yellow vests, a strange interim army performs a counting operation. Counting ground-based instruments and cameras placed on red lights at some intersections complete the system. This will determine where do and where to direct the cars on the main road between the Grand to determine what is the best path for the future tramway Canal, called to enter into Service in 2019.

 

“AA BD 564 … 298 …” In his Dictaphone, the agent records the first five characters of car license plates. Organized in trio, each agent handles a file, Boulevard of the mouthpiece, at the bridge. A hundred meters away, Boulevard des, a new trio recorded the plates. The operation also performed Boulevard Marquette, will post recordings of counting, to know precisely the path of each car.

 

Where will the tram “Channel”? This is the question that will have to meet officials SMTC and Toulouse. First, what side of the canal? The two tram routes will they be on the same side? How very crossing used by he will build a special car design with reflective tape? What impact the route he will have on traffic?

This falls under the departmental plan Transportation Department and its school transport security policy.

 

During the 2015 campaign, it is 6000 6th of students who are loaned to exercise. The animation happens in two stages.

Road safety: the students wear safety vest

Bracieux nine college students received the National Order of Merit for their project around the port of yellow reflective vest.

 

Thursday, June 16, Hubert school in Bracieux has hosted prestigious guests. Valerie Goff, academic director of the department and Alain, Chief of Staff of the prefect, had traveled to greet the “amazing work and smart” 9 students.

For over a year, these college students and their history teacher, Romaric set up a project on the promotion of wearing safety vest. “We were surrounded by two professors of the college and then we got a grant from the Highway Safety to help us finalize the project,” says Camille, a student participating in this production.

As a reward, they received the National Order of Merit awarded by the medalists and departmental chairman, Jean-Claude. “Now we will communicate this production to the national jury of the Order of Merit in Paris. We truly support this project because it is in time and we will do everything for it to go away, “says Jean-Claude.

 

Eight panels on a wall tell the story of the yellow vest over the centuries. It is amazing project Romaric and 9 of his students. “It was a kind of timeline incorporating the yellow vest in paintings and texts of our history book” says Camille.

 

“A Citizens’ Agenda”

But basically, the idea germinated in the head Romaric. The teacher wanted to start a project that echoes an internal problem in college. “Many students ride bicycles or off the bus without wearing a yellow vest, he says, so we already wanted to trigger awareness in them.”

In depicting characters from the middle Ages coating the yellow vest, Romaric has integrated this item in history to “create a reflex” for these college students. Professor promotes another type of prevention, bypassing the awareness campaigns it deems ineffective.

This production, own students, allowed them to “take ownership history “, adding a touch of humor to the illuminations of the Middle Ages. What, hopefully, to get the message to their peers.

The yellow jacket is compulsory for motorcyclists

This is the case for motorists since 2008, now the bikers will have a yellow reflective vest on hand, either on them or in their vehicle storage (net, safe …). As the 4 wheelers, they will wear when they come down from their vehicle after an emergency stop, to improve their visibility. The measure concerns the users of mopeds, scooters and motorcycles.

 

Why bikers are reluctant?

Many bikers ignore the new regulations. They think the yellow vest must be worn at all times over the motorcycle jacket. It’s wrong. The regulation includes having to wear this vest permanently hand and wear it only when the rider got off the vehicle during a breakdown or an accident and as a pedestrian is in danger (of a road on an emergency lane …). In case of non-compliance with these new rules, violators will face a fine of 11 Euros if no jacket on board and 135 Euros if they do not carry the following stop emergency.

Some also fear that the measure is a first step and that in time the port is mandatory as soon as they climb aboard their bikes. There is nothing to have such fear. Even in countries where such a measure has been around longer than us, only possession is mandatory at all times, and the port in case of danger.

Finally, for many riders, especially those sports, the problem of lack of space: no “glove box”, no top box … little or no room under the seat … Roll ultra purposes safety vests slip into the glove or pocket!

 

The circulation of 2-wheels between two rows of cars is partially approved

A decree published in late December 2015 in the Official Journal allows the experimentation of “interfile”. A practice used on the Paris but illegal device. . Since February 2016, in the Ile-de-France, Gironde and the Rhone, the bikers will ride between lanes of cars legally … but with conditions: on certain routes, under certain conditions and at moderate speed.

This inter-files circulation for vehicles with two or three motorized wheels and a maximum width of one meter will be authorized for a period of four years, extendable to a maximum of one year.

 

Drivers of motorized two-wheelers account for 18% of road deaths

In 2014, the road was wounded and 22,000 killed 790 people among users of motorized two-wheelers. This is 18% of road fatalities, but it is a figure down.

The peak recorded accident rate is between 25 and 49 years, but the risk of fatal accidents are important to 70 years. The risk of being killed in the city is more important for the users of light motorcycles (54%). Nearly half of motorcyclists without reflective clothes killed (47%) are in the summer.
