20 downed pedestrians, two of them dead in a week. “The number of hiked pedestrians is increasing rapidly. Within one day, there are four injuries, “warns Regional Secretary Michael.
Soon it diminishes, and pedestrians can not be seen in the evening dark. “The obligation to wear reflective strips outside the village is imposed by the law, but I am very much in favor of people being carried in the towns, too,” says region police.
It responds to the tragic accident in which a woman died last week. BusLine also responded the alarming number of injured or killed pedestrians. Her drivers now give out reflective tapes as part of a campaign, along with a bus ticket.
According to a representative for Nikola, it has its logic. “The most vulnerable travelers are mostly traveling on a bus stop or on a bus, and often walking along the edge of the road,” she explained the reason for the campaign, which was also launched by the TV reportage.
