The campaign to prevent road accidents in Homemade

In the context of the increase of the road traffic on the modernized county road, the Homemade City Hall initiates a road traffic accident prevention campaign where the citizens of the commune can become victims of pedestrians, cyclists or wagons. The campaign aims at informing the population about the observance of the daytime traffic rules, especially during the night, supported by specialists from the Belgium police station, but also the purchase and distribution of reflective tapes for each of the family.

“It is a project that we have initiated, and it is not a great financial effort to buy about 600 newsletters so that each family has a reflective vest received from the city hall. The goal is to prepare somehow the population for another traffic flow as the county roadworks are completed. If until now the county road stops at Solidus, now will be the connection to Modish, Second, Titrate, and everyone is convinced that it will be much larger traffic and the good road will circulate at speed, especially at night.

The elderly were accustomed to go from one house to another, to go where there was a death to watch, to the church, were accustomed to traveling along the road, not all the time the sidewalks are preferred by the elderly and we have no very well-built infrastructure, and then we thought we had to organize citizens’ meetings with the police, to remind the elderly people in particular of how to travel and not to forget to put back a reflective vest .

At the mayoral level, we want to do our best to prevent unwanted events, to have no one on our conscience. We have not yet begun to distribute the vests next week to warm up the weather, to make some more meetings. I looked for the price, about 5-6 thousand lei would be the value of the vestments for all the families in the commune, we will take them personally. It really does not cost much and it was also a way for a store to get them and they buy them, but what’s certain is certain. With regard to the children, we will see that there are also elastic vests, flexible measures of any size and we will see exactly what we have, “said Simian Avant-garde, mayor of Homemade commune.

Also, at the end of the year, money was received from the government, and it was decided, together with Horsehide’s councilors, to improve the quality of public lighting on the county road, in each village, to be led bulbs on each pillar so far, for lack of money, it was only the second pillar lightened. Now on the main street, each pillar along the county road will have reflective materials for better visibility.

The important element for the safety of children

There are currently more than 180 adult school helpers and an additional 170 student guides in Landsteiner Ronstadt. “This is a top quota, and we are thus Bavaria with at the top,” said Winfred Gehrig, who works as a traffic educator of the Loadstar police at the schools and is also responsible for the finances of the local traffic. In this capacity, he also moderated the annual Schulweghelfertreffen Schwarzenegger the savings bank.

The focus of the meeting was on the honor of longtime helpers by Starlets mayor Paul K ruck and the chairman of the traffic guard Richard Holman. The longest service has Chancellor Koshers from Rubinstein. Despite being proud of her 77-year-old age, the senior citizen has been on the state road to Schweitzer at 7.30 am for fifteen years, to guide elementary school students safely across the street. For this, she was awarded, among other things, the thank-you certificate of the Bavarian Prime Minister.

Susanne Gan, Claudia Lang, Giselle Steroid, and Karin Schopenhauer – all from Simmental – as well as Ramona Muller from Seinfeld,  do ten years of service as school helpers. Five years are Verna Becker, Doris Rosenberg and Martina Lath from Rubinstein. In Simmental, Grid Schrieffer, Lunchtime Muller, Melanie Kuhn, Benjamin Navarro, and Simone Navarro perform their duties, Claudia Meitnerium in Jarlsberg and Nadia Avon Lengthen in Lengthen.

A large group of volunteers with five years of service is available in Seinfeld: Christian Koppel, Sebastian and Christa Schrieffer, Maria Enrich, Gertrude Kronecker, Erika Arnold, Erika Samoset, Erich Gillespie, Karenina Rises and Ja sim Overmanning. On the way to school in Gruelling stand Marion Dereference, Desire Stockhausen and Ganja Michel, in Cochabamba it is Andrea Brenner.

Mayor K ruck called the Cheerfulness an important building block for the safety of our children. At a time when family and society were changing rapidly and children needed help from outside on their way to school, it was a stroke of luck that there were people who voluntarily got up early in the wind and weather and provided security. “We are all grateful that there are such good spirits as you,” he praised.

Police Chief Thomas Mirach was happy about a “top school year” in which there was not a single school accident in the area of his police inspection. This was certainly also a merit of the Cheerfulness and the active Schoolchildren.

Police Chief Gehrig also addressed minor problems in front of the school helpers. These should also pay attention to bright reflective clothing, especially in the dark season – both in themselves, but they should also target specific children who are not adequately equipped.

Reflective tapes or reflective materials must be provided on the reflective clothing to ensure safety.

In case of major difficulties with unintentional motorists, it is important to pass along the license plate and a description of the driver to the police. Furthermore, the official also gave tips for the correct positioning of the helpers on the roadside and asked the attendees to actively recruit other helpers themselves. This usually works better if they are addressed directly.

Before the cozy get-together, there was a cheery-contemplative traffic education film from the early 20th century. The strip “The cyclists are to blame for everything”, showed that not much has changed here in the last 100 years.

They protect them from robots

The Amazon Internet Reseller has developed new reflective vests for its warehouse staff. He wants to avoid the injuries that have arisen from contact with the robot droids. Those in the warehouse collect the goods and store the pallets in vacancies. The news came from The Independent and The Week.

The so-called Robotic Tech Vest (Robotic Tech Vest) was specially designed to make workers more visible to an “army of robotic assistants” reminiscent of automatic vacuum cleaners. The vest is equipped with reflective tapes. Their number is around hundreds of thousands worldwide in all Amazon warehouses.

Vests have built-in sensors that send them to robots when they are in their immediate vicinity. Amazon introduces this measure after 24 workers from the warehouse in New Jersey have been hospitalized in December last year. One of the robots passed an aerosol can in their vicinity to repel the bears. The can was torn apart and the substance dispersed into the air.

“The safety of our employees is always our top priority and the investigation of the incident is already underway,” the company said in a statement. The problem lies in the fact that even if robots operate in places where they store goods on shelves, they still have access to the employees who carry out checks. New vests should, therefore, avoid contact with the robot so that the worker can safely carry out maintenance.

A deadly traffic accident in Mals

In Mals on Saturday at 4:00 clock in the morning a tragischer traffic accident occurred.

According to initial information, a man was hit by a car and was fatally injured. There is no reflective tape on his body.

In action were the ambulance of the White Cross, the emergency counseling, the fire department, and the Carabinieri, but all efforts were in vain. The victim died at the accident site.

The 26-year-old Stefan Heinisch from Matsch was on foot on the main road from Mals in the direction of Burgeis when he was hit by the car at the turnoff to Planeil from the car. A second pedestrian, who was said to have been there, remained unhurt.

The driver of the car immediately raised the alarm and called the emergency services.

After the fatal accident in Mals, the chairman of the Association South Tyrol’s local police, Christian Carli, recommends pedestrians to wear light-colored clothing or even a reflective safety vest with reflective fabric when traveling at night. For motorists recognize passersby on foot at night only with difficulty.

For cyclists, safety vests outside of villages have even been mandatory for six years.

Motorists, on the other hand, are advised to take their foot off the accelerator pedal at night within localities. Some would tend to travel too fast because there is often little traffic at night.

Variable weather conditions

Variable weather with snow or rain does not make it easier to drive, especially in the morning and evening, when the temperature fluctuates around zero.

Sudden snowfall, a slippery surface or lack of driving skills in such conditions cause that many road accidents happen. Unfortunately, we do not have any influence on atmospheric conditions, but by observing traffic rules, driving techniques, responsible behavior, as well as proper equipment of our vehicle, we can increase our safety.

With the change of weather, the roads are more and more dangerous

Weather change is the time when the probability of road events increases several times. Deteriorating road conditions: the occurrence of fog, rainfall or snow, slippery surface and low temperature, significantly extend the braking distance, which with high traffic on our roads adversely affects the safety of road users.

Reason first and foremost

Remember that falling snow or snow with rain and frosts make the road slippery. Drivers have to take into account that they will not be able to stop the vehicle immediately. The braking time of the car then increases significantly and it is not difficult to collide or offset. Each of us is a participant in the road traffic, only our roles change sometimes. It does not matter, however, whether we are traveling by car, by bike or walking, then remember that we are responsible for the safety of ourselves and other road users. Unfortunately, we do not have any influence on atmospheric conditions, but by observing traffic rules, driving techniques, responsible behavior, as well as proper equipment of our vehicle, we can increase our safety. Let’s adjust the speed to the conditions on the road. Unfortunately, not everyone remembers that when the temperature is on the small plus or drops below zero, and on the road there is snow or rain or drizzle, the conditions on the road are extremely treacherous and you should drive slower, more cautiously and more wisely.

Let’s take care of our vehicles

The better we take care of our vehicle before departure, the more our safety and other road users will improve. The driver should have an adequate field of view. Snow removal, cleaned of ice and other dirt must be windows and mirrors. Also, external lighting and registration plates may be dirty and covered with snow. Also, the snow lying on the roof of the car or the cover of the engine compartment poses a real threat to us and other drivers because it can slip on the windshield during braking or fall on the other car behind us.

Necessary change of winter tires – it will certainly affect our road safety. As the last days’ show, the first snowfalls have already appeared in our region and in many cases, winter tires seem to be an absolute necessity.

Remember about reflective materials

A special appeal is also directed at pedestrians. Even if you are in front of a pedestrian crossing, make sure that the driver can slow down. Of course, the pedestrian takes precedence over the passage, but here the principle of limited trust is applicable.

Let us remind you that during the autumn and winter weather we are less visible. Pedestrians and cyclists should remember about their safety and take care to be visible. Road conditions suggest common, absolute use of reflective tapes not only outside built-up areas and regardless of age.

Every reflective element, regardless of whether it is a reflective vest, key ring or headband, will make it easier to see the oncoming driver when moving on the road.

The driver remembers:

  • Thoroughly clean the vehicle from the snow before you leave the road – the snow should be removed not only from the windows but also from the roof, bonnet and from the headlights and rear lights,
  • Make sure that the windows are not fogged up and the visibility from inside the vehicle is not impeded,
  • Plan your trip – in case of bad weather conditions, leave 10 minutes earlier. In the event of a possible disruption in traffic, this creates unnecessary stress and, as a consequence, may lead to aggression,
  • Remember that in the event of any precipitation, speed should be reduced,
  • At low temperatures, the road surface freezes. Avoid sudden maneuvers and sharp braking.
  • Pay special attention to pedestrians who are less visible during this period

HORA ON SKI AND SNOWBOARDS!

The ski season has already begun, but let’s take a look at some tips from this fashionable world …

Even on the slope, you can look great and at your own pleasure, that is, according to your favorite colors, styles, and comfort.

What do you need and what can you do without?

There is plenty of choices, each one looking for how and what makes you feel comfortable, especially to keep your clothes warm. Jackets and trousers are classic, but for someone, the brand will be the ideal overalls. Below we wear a sweater or a thermal jersey. A great option is the termo short or long sleeve t-shirts. You can use your underpants or just warm ski boots, then you will really feel warm. Complementary is the important elements for ski outfit, such as ski goggles, gloves, corsets, and scarves. Yet beautiful and becoming caps prefer to leave under the slope and think of your safety with a helmet.

Do not forget about the visible elements

Colors, colors, colors! And patterns too, let us see them! Those who are not afraid, so bold, do not miss it! At least, however, think of reflective materials, these are now commonplace in most sportswear. They will be what you want for the day!

Especially at night, pay attention to safety! It is best to wear reflective clothing or clothing with reflective tapes.

Do you prefer a more elegant style? Why not!

Elegant style can be found in these colors: white, beige, black, bronze, gold and silver, which are often supplemented with fur. And it does not really matter how well you can ski. In the mountains, you can enjoy the walks and the beauty of nature, where you can perfectly dress this outfit.

Car and walking

When confronted with a car, the pedestrian has little chance of avoiding injuries. Modern technology, however, gives you the chance to prevent pedestrians from being hit by a car. These are systems that detect the presence of a pedestrian on the road in time.

Not every pedestrian realizes that in some situations he becomes a participant in road traffic – especially when crossing a street or street. According to the regulations, pedestrians on the marked crossing have priority over the vehicle. At the same time, it is forbidden to go directly in front of a moving car. However, the driver is obliged to be particularly careful when approaching the pedestrian crossing.

The regulations allow the pedestrian to cross the road outside the crossing if the distance from the nearest such place exceeds 100 meters.

It can only do this if it is sure that it will not hinder the traffic and drivers will not be exposed to sudden braking. In addition, crossing the road outside the marked pedestrian crossing is obliged to give way to vehicles.

The pedestrian also becomes a participant in the road traffic, when he uses the road outside the built-up area in a situation where there is no sidewalk.

– In this situation, the pedestrian can move the left side of the road, thanks to which he will see cars approaching from the opposite direction – explains Bradshaw Pulaski, Skoda Auto Skoal instructor.

The presence of a pedestrian on the road outside the built-up area is a threat that becomes even more dangerous after dark. Despite the fact that the pedestrian sees the car approaching, it may be invisible to the driver, especially when a different vehicle arrives from the opposite direction. In the brightness of its headlights, the silhouette of a pedestrian at the edge of the road blends with its surroundings.

– A walking night wearing a dark outfit is seen by the driver from a distance of about 40 meters. However, if you are wearing reflective clothing with reflective tapes, it becomes visible even from a distance of 150 meters – emphasizes Bradshaw Pulaski.

That is why the regulations impose on the pedestrians moving along the way after dusk the obligation to have reflective elements.

The issue of pedestrian safety is extremely important for car manufacturers. Until recently, systems protecting the weakest road users were offered in the equipment of higher class cars. Currently, they can also be found in the cars of popular brands. One of such systems is the Pedestrian Monitor, a function that was included in the standard equipment in Skoda Karoq and Kodiaq. It is an emergency braking system in case of detecting the risk of collision with a pedestrian. Pedestrian Monitor uses a radar that scans the area in front of the car. The advanced algorithm processes the received signals and at speeds in the range of 10 to 60 km / h, the system can recognize the risk of collision with a pedestrian and react on its own.

In this situation, he first warns the driver of the danger and finally automatically applies the brakes. At speeds above 30 km / h, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster display.

However, this type of solution does not absolve the driver from caution, while pedestrians moving after dark on the road outside the built-up area to be better visible should wear any reflective material.

21 cyclists are out of order with lighting

Does the Aarschot police also know that in addition to bicycle lights there are a lot of fashionable and cool fluogadgets or reflective material to be extra visible?

For example, rucksacks with reflective fabric or fluorescent covers to do over your backpack, fluorescent or reflective ankle and bracelets (which also exist with integrated LED lights), fluorescent helmets or helmet covers, reflective tape in different colors (to bring your backpack, bike or jacket with you) to pimp), reflectors for your bicycle spokes, etc … Or you can also just choose a fluorescent jacket. Ugly? Can be, but in the meantime, different clothing brands have designed their own trendy fluffy coat. Super clear and super nice at the same time: yes you can!

Elements of Traffic and Municipal Roads …

Tapachula Chiapas, January 10, 2018.- To give continuity to the coordinated work to reduce the incidence of crime and ensure the safety of motorcycle drivers, elements of the Municipal Traffic Directorate follow up on “Moto Operations” in various sectors of the Urban area.

The director of the unit, Luis Javier Guerrero Rubiera, explained that the joint operation with the Municipal Public Security Secretariat is permanent and takes place at various points in the urban area to invite citizens to have their documents in order, promote the use of the protective helmet and reflective vest with reflective tapes to increase safety when driving.

The elements of Transit and Municipal Roads made these actions in the main access of the colony “El Porvenir”, in addition to other points where 17 drivers were infracted for various faults such as not wearing the helmet, license or license plates.

Guerrero Rubiera said that the actions implemented by the Municipal President, Oscar Guerra Penagos, also allow reducing the criminal incidence, so the operative is permanent to guarantee the tranquility of the citizens.

“We respond to citizens’ requests, which is why we will continue installing the roadblocks at various points in the local geography, to carry out the proper verification of compliance with the provisions of the current Municipal Traffic Regulations, which is why drivers are invited to respect the indications whose purpose is to guarantee their safety, “he said.

Safety vests as identification mark for helpers at the Brasher BOP

The Brasher Cerberus-Orientations-Parcours, short BOP., In the Chapultepec is just around the corner. Helpers at this event are marked with safety vests this time.

“How can we make ourselves visible?” Was a question asked by the organizing team in the run-up to the BOP? Because there are always questions from the ranks of the visitors and it is often not that easy to find the contact persons for them. One did not want to fall back on the T-shirts for the identification, which are not quite dewy anymore.

Donation handed over

Thomas Feint, owner of the machine-building company of the same name in Happenstance and since the beginning active in the BOP. with them, suggested the use of reflective vests with reflective tapes. And as one for the BOP. Also as a co-organizer committed pragmatist he was ready to equip the secondary school with 30 of this signal-colored eye-catcher. On Tuesday afternoon he handed over his donation in front of the likewise colorful construction trailer in the yard of the school.

In addition, Thomas Feint had a tip for all students who would like to take care of a training place soon: visit BOP, make contact here to the training company and do an internship. For exactly this was the exclusive way for Thomas Feint, on which his company came together with the last four apprentices to conclude the contract.
