Switzerland Work prevention takes on glamorous accents in the canton.
To show that you can combine style and security by making yourself visible in traffic, Miss Switzerland 2016 Lauriane Sallin marched on Saturday in a design dress with reflective material patterns.
This garment was made especially for the occasion by the School of couture of Freiburg. The cantonal police, invited to the Freiburg Fair, took the opportunity to unveil the Friborg grassroots version of the national “See You” campaign.

The Accident Prevention Office (BPA) is a partner in this campaign. The watchword for all road users is: seeing and being seen. On the Friborg side, the police will distribute 5,000 flyers and 3,500 reflective fabric bags.
Visible at 140 meters
The flyer particularly calls for pedestrians and cyclists to wear reflective clothing rather than dark clothes. This makes it possible to be located at more than 140 meters instead of 25 meters. It should not be visible on one side, but at 360 degrees.
Seek eye contact with other users before maneuvering to avoid accidents. Cyclists should not forget to turn on the headlights according to the visibility conditions. And they must clearly indicate the changes of direction.
Advice is also given to motorcyclists and motorists, such as wearing a safety vest, paying attention to blind spots, and keeping headlights, windows and mirrors clean. And for all users: avoid being distracted by the mobile phone.
