Protect children safe return to school

On Saturday, police officers from the District Police Headquarters together with the Carrefour supermarket and firefighters, reminded children about the basic traffic rules and general safety rules.

 

The beginning of the school year is an opportunity to give children and teenagers a few comments on safety. After the summer vacation, the youngest often forget about the basic safety rules, as well as about the dangers lurking on them every day.

 

That is why on Saturday, September 2, police officers command together with fire brigade officers and the Carrefour supermarket, on the square in front of the store, carried out an action under the slogan “Safe return to school.” Police officers explained to the children how to behave during the road to school and how to cross safely the road or rail crossing. The officers reminded about safety rules while cycling, in the car, and on the bus. They also observed children and adolescents against contacts with strangers. A very important element enhancing road safety is wearing retro-reflective elements, which was called by law enforcement officers during conversations with students and their parents. During the action, children received pendants, vests and other reflective elements, which the Carrefour market gave to them – reports the younger Bowen, spokeswoman for the policemen.

 

A big attraction for the youngest was the display of equipment that is on the equipment of the police and fire brigade and the possibility of entering the wheel of a police car or fire engine.

– We hope that thanks to such actions, children will be able to avoid situations posing a threat to their health and life and behave in an appropriate manner in crises – sums up a police spokesperson.

 

It is worth noting that from Monday, social prevention officers began a series of meetings with the youngest students and teachers about staying safe while walking on the road, passing through belts, wearing reflective vest and other situations related to the road to school.

 

 

First graders know how to stay safe on the road

September 29 students from the first grades of Primary School No. 4 Nicolas Copernicus participated in the “Safe Way to School” campaign. Police officers in safety vest carried out a well-organized action.

 

During the meeting, the first graders had the opportunity to check and broaden their knowledge of traffic regulations. The students were eager to answer the questions asked and listened to the lectures of police officers with interest. Everyone received reflective bands and promised to wear them always with them, especially during the evening autumn walks.

 

The police officers made the students a huge surprise bringing with them a large, mascot-like – POLMISIA. The children were very pleased with the presence of the mascot, who along with them set off to the streets. The students together with the police officers checked the acquired knowledge in practice. Dressed in reflective vests, they passed the belts using the current traffic rules.

 

The first graders also arrived, where they were greeted by the Mayor, presented with sweets and wishes for a safe road to school.

Instead of a mandate – a reflective vest

In the un-built area before dawn, with very bad road conditions, they moved without lighting or reflective elements. Exceptionally due to new regulations, they did not receive a mandate from police officers, and for the improvement of visibility and safety, reflective vests. Let us take care of your safety. Any reflective element or vest can not only save your health but often also life.

 

Police from the road near Krakow and Rigor before dawn with very bad road conditions, dense fog, revealed unprotected road users in the area, who moved without any reflective material.

Two women detained in connection with the offense revealed to police officers that they did not know about the new regulations requiring pedestrians on the way outside the built-up area to use retro-reflective elements placed in a visible place. The man, on the other hand, said he had forgotten to take the reflection from home and forgot to turn on the lighting in his bike.

 

Exceptionally, unprotected participants of the traffic did not receive tickets from the police officers and after receiving the instructions, they received reflective vests. Police officers received reflective elements as part of the campaign “Be visible – be safe!”

 

Reflectors and safety vests for toddlers

For the sake of the life and health of the youngest inhabitants of the Kielce district, the Kielce began on Wednesday 6 December in the City and Community of Moravia with a reflective educational campaign during which the podia self-government will transmit to the first of the county schools 2,000 safety vests within a few days.

 

In this year’s edition of the Safe program, the Kielce podia took first place and won the award. – The Chapter appreciated the preventive undertakings carried out by the podia, covering activities in the area of road traffic and safety in public places. We have allocated the prize of PLN 15,000 for the purchase of vests and reflective braces. In autumn and winter the pedestrians who bear the most tragic consequences of accidents – says the Kielce.

 

Vests that improve safety will be given to first graders from primary schools located throughout the Kielce. In total, 2,000 of them were purchased and will be sent to students from 122 schools. On the first day of the action, the Kielce tsarist was present in three schools in the City and Commune – at the Primary School, at the Primary School named after Kernel in Moravia and at the School Complex in Breezing. – The aim of the “Safe” campaign is primarily to improve the safety of the youngest road users – said the tsarist. – Together with the police commander, we try to make the inhabitants aware that security is a priority issue.

 

During the action of the Kielce eldership in each school, there were police officers who brought children closer to the role of pedestrians in road traffic. The security lesson was conducted by police officers from the Traffic Department of the Municipal Police Headquarters in Kielce: senior sergeant Joanna and Sergeant. Officers reminded how pedestrians should behave while moving on the road, what should be done before we cross the pedestrian crossing and what influence on our safety is the use of reflective elements. From an early age, it is worth emphasizing the importance of visibility on the road. Remember that a pedestrian dressed in a dark outfit is seen by the driver of the vehicle from a distance of about 30 meters. The pedestrian, wearing reflective elements, becomes visible even from a distance of 150 meters – said Joanna.

 

The action of the Kielce eldership and the police met with an extremely positive reaction of the youngest. The first girls were very satisfied with the prepared attractions. As they said, they learned to move safely along the way and wear reflective vests. The meeting in Moravia was also attended by the First Deputy Commander of the Provincial Police in Kielce, Inspector, and Deputy Commander of the Municipal Police in Kielce. I really want these reflective children to wear; I want you to be safe – appealed commander Arturo. The organizer of the campaign is the Kielce County Board together with the Municipal Police Headquarters in Kielce. Reflective Vests – bear the county logo; will be handed over by all members of the District Board in Kielce for first grade children on 6-13 December 2017.

 

 

Firefighters gave students their reflective vests

Firefighters gave students their reflective vests. Dressing them during evening exits will improve security. Students from the Primary School in Plenary visited the drums from the local unit of the Volunteer Fire Brigade.

 

In a festive gift, they brought reflective vests for all pupils and children from the kindergarten. Preschoolers received safety vests with a smiling face, and other students with the OSP Plenary logo. OSP vice president Macaw Krupp urged children not to forget about wearing vests because they can save health and even life when going out in the evenings on busy streets.

 

It is worth introducing a fashion for wearing reflective waistcoats, and adults should pay special attention to children’s safety on the road and shine the example themselves – say the Dramas.

 

 

Cyclists will have new safety rules to respect

Bicyclists will have to observe new traffic rules for road safety, soon the normative act that foresees them coming into force on Saturday. In fact, some of the road traffic bans have been slightly mitigated, and the act sets out how children under the age of seven can be carried on a bicycle.

 

Bicyclists will have to observe new traffic rules, starting this Saturday. Government Decision no. 965/2016, which will enter into force on January 21, 2017, and which will amend the Road Traffic Regulation, provides, in addition to numerous new regulations for car drivers, a number of important changes for cyclists.

 

On Saturday, cyclists running on public roads will be able to install on their bicycles including car audible warning systems. Whether or not we speak of a car horn, they still have the obligation to put on such a warning system on the bike. In addition, the fluorescent reflective elements placed on the wheels (the so-called “cat eye”) should no longer be orange.

 

In addition, the bicycle will no longer have to be equipped with white / yellow light and red, reflective and reflective at the back of the night, or when the visibility is reduced, according to the normative act. Now, cyclists have this obligation when traveling on public roads, regardless of the time of the day or the conditions of visibility.

 

The Act also provides a novelty for parents: Bikes will be able to carry children under the age of seven but only by an adult and provided that the bicycle is factory-fitted with a special holder or has an approved device for the transport of small ones. At present, cyclists can carry children under seven only if the vehicle is fitted with a special mount or if it is built and equipped specifically for the transport of other people. However, no reference is made to what age the bicyclist should be.

 

Finally, on Saturday, cyclists will not be allowed to circulate inside the localities where public lighting does not work or outside the locality without a reflective vest, at night or when visibility is low. Currently, the legal provisions make no mention of public lighting; the vest must be worn regardless of this condition.
