Pedestrians are obliged by law to wear reflective vest at night or otherwise reduced visibility when moving between villages on clothing. This was pointed out by the policemen of the Municipal Police in Reno during their security event, Tomlin Gross, the spokesman of the local town hall, told Zlin.cz.
A security event organized by the town police was held on Wednesday 2 March evening. Its main component was the distribution of reflective strips on hand and reflector.
“In the framework of prevention, pedestrians in particular have drawn attention to the new legal obligation to wear reflective elements on the clothing when moving between villages and in reduced visibility or at night,” said Alex, the head of the police.
“We gave out reflective tapes, pendants and stickers, and bikes, reflectors and lights were prepared for cyclists,” added police officer Jixi Huda, who is responsible for preventive actions for the public in the town council in Reno and for lectures on road safety for schools.
“The aim of the event, which we will certainly repeat, is to remind all pedestrians and cyclists the basic rule for safe movement on the roads – to see and be seen,” concluded Pillar.
