The “Traffic 2018” police action is in progress. Today officers are at cemeteries and on access roads to the necropolis, where they direct traffic. We will also meet them on the route, where they will control, among others speed and sobriety.
The action “Traffic 2018” started on Wednesday, October 31 and will last until November 4. Police officers not only have to control and look after security but also help people going to cemeteries.
“Traffic officers carry out activities aimed at limiting negative behavior on roads, ensuring their users a safe journey to destinations and returning home, and maintaining the flow of traffic.” inform police officers from the press office of the Provincial Police.
The policemen are at the cemeteries, at which there were changes in the organization of traffic and where traffic for vehicles was completely closed. “On a regular basis, they will adjust the intensity of activities adequately to the traffic volume and road conditions.” ensure the representatives of KWP.
During the actions on the roads, police officers will check, among others whether or not.
We comply with speed limits on access roads to cities;
We have belts fastened, and children are transported in car seats;
Drivers are sober;
The car is properly lit and we have turned on these lights;
The officers will also check the technical condition of vehicles.
Officers in the field will be more than usual. “In this particular period, police officers from the prevention and criminal departments will also be involved in increased security activities. The officers will patrol around the cemeteries and church areas. Police officers will also increase supervision by railway and bus stations as well as mass transport.” informs KWP.
Police officers also remind that when we go to cemeteries, we must remember about our safety.
Remember about safety
Remember, do not take more money with you than you need to the cemetery. Do not carry documents, money, keys or valuables in commercials, open large pockets of clothing. Purses, wallets, telephones, and ATM cards, as well as keys – should be hidden in the locked inner pocket of the clothing. Using public transport, always keep your purse or backpack in front of you and keep it in your hand. Do not leave your property behind the tombstones without proper supervision. Sometimes a moment of inattention is enough, for example, moving from the place of burial to water to flowers or going to the trash with rubbish to become a potential victim of theft. Let’s be careful when getting on and off the streetcar or bus. If possible, avoid squeezing and familiarity with people (in this case, let us apply the principle of limited trust).
“Pedestrians should also remember to behave safely on the road, especially in the vicinity of cemeteries. Crossing the road should only take place at marked pedestrian crossings or designated areas at this time. In the evening and night time moving along the road outside the built-up area we should have reflective vests. Reflective fabrics attached to the bag or fitted with reflective clothing). This will make us more visible to drivers moving along the road, and thus increase our safety,” police officers remind us and add:
Let us be kind and forgiving in this period. Let us be careful and proceed in such a way that everyone safely returns to their homes.
