The police from Tomaszów handed out reflectors to pedestrians and cyclists. Recently, there have been several accidents in the Tomaszów involving unprotected road users who did not have reflectors, hence the police call to wear them.
The autumn and winter period is characterized by rapidly falling dusk, changing weather conditions, and limited visibility. All this means that the “unprotected” road users, especially pedestrians, are particularly exposed to danger.
That is why, on December 17, 2020, the policemen from Tomaszów, as part of provincial activities under the name of “Unprotected”, in cooperation with the County Office in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, handed out reflective vests to pedestrians and cyclists. Used, they will certainly increase the security level of their users.
For the sake of common safety, the policemen call for the wearing of reflective elements. The compulsory use of reflectors applies to all pedestrians walking in undeveloped terrain after dark. Reflectors significantly improve the visibility of a pedestrian and can save his life. A driver will notice a pedestrian wearing a vest with reflective tape or a reflective band much earlier.
