The winter weather, and with it the difficult road conditions cause a decrease in safety for all road users. This obliges drivers to prudence, vigilance, to maintain a proper spacing and driving at the speed limit, while walking to the special care when crossing the road, including at a pedestrian without safety vest crossing and equipment with reflectors.

 

Today’s weather is not an ally of drivers. Rain freezing rain or snow; make the roadway is wet and slippery. Every driver should therefore be aware that it’s very easy in such circumstances to lose control of the vehicle and the braking distance is much longer than usual. Therefore, particularly in the areas of pedestrian crossings, the driver should slow to catch brake and avoid deductions. In such conditions, each driver should be alert for pedestrians, especially those outside the built-up going shoulder and on slippery surfaces can simply slip, causing danger to themselves and approaching the driver, as well as those who have no reflective material in dark clothing, they are almost invisible to the driver.

 

That’s why the police special appeal direct to the pedestrians, the most vulnerable on the road. They must realize that to avoid the deduction, you must cross the road at a considerable distance from the oncoming vehicle, because the length of the braking path is in such conditions significantly extended. Nor should it be running up the road, including the pedestrian crossing. Always look around carefully; making sure that the road does not appear in any vehicle, and normal cross the road does not end in serious injury or even death. For your own safety, and even the protection of your life, every pedestrian should be mandatory to equip the reflective element, to become more visible to other road users. Reflective vests, flashlights, umbrellas, reflectors on the hand, make a pedestrian will be visible to the driver not from a distance of 20-30 meters, but from a distance of up to 150 meters. This can ensure that the driver has time to slow down and there will be no deductions.

 

Adecco to call the police in such weather conditions all road kept prudence and caution, so that each of us can reach safely to her, if only a few minutes’ journey. For that to happen, each of us must observe established rules and traffic regulations.

How to protect the lives of pedestrians – safety vest

January 25, 2017 year across the country, including in Lower Silesia, the first run was the “Day of the glare.” Police officers in safety vest from the traffic police conducted preventive measures for improving pedestrian safety. Officers handed unprotected road users glare. The idea of the project comes from Norway, where “Day reflective” is organized every year.

 

In Poland, the “Day of reflective” was held for the first time. It was organized within the project “Traffic Safety” financed by the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area 2009-2014 and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 in the framework of the Bilateral Cooperation Fund at the national level in 2016.

 

Lower Silesia policemen are implementing preventive measures within the framework of the Day of glare, talking with pedestrians pointing out the importance of reflectors for their safety. The officers reminded about their advantages, they are improving visibility, especially after dark. Also passed unprotected road users reflective elements.

 

Statistics show that about 38% of all road accident victims in Poland are “vulnerable” road users. The dynamic development of the automotive industry in the last ten years is causing a steady increase in traffic. It should be noted that with the development of the automotive industry at the same time increases the risk of traffic safety. An extremely important issue in this regard is the safety of vulnerable road users, because it conducted the analysis indicate a significant share of this group, in particular pedestrians in road accidents.

 

According to regulations, each foot moving after dark on the road outside the built-up area is required to use reflective material elements. Please note that when confronted with a vehicle, a pedestrian is always at a disadvantage. It does not protect him after the bumper, bonnet or airbag.

It is worth recalling that after dark pedestrian, who is wearing a muted gray – black color and does not have to outerwear reflective elements, is seen by the driver of a vehicle with a distance of only about 40 meters. In contrast, a person walking, sporting “glare”, becoming visible even from a distance of over 150 meters. These additional meters allow the driver to brake safely and get around on foot. Certainly in winter, when night falls early and the weather conditions deteriorate, pedestrians on the roads are poorly visible, therefore the probability of being hit by a vehicle significantly increases.

 

The use of reflective elements in various forms whether, pendants, tie, vest or shopping bags with reflective elements, increase the chance of a pedestrian to avoid deductions during poor visibility. Properly worn reflectors should be placed in a location so that they are in the action and headlights were visible vehicular approaching from both directions.

 

Cost of equipment with reflective vest are marginal costs and do not constitute an obstacle preventing its acquisition by the average user of roads. Whereas the costs of treating accident victims, is not counting the material losses are disproportionately higher and difficult to quantify.
