Why are there blue reflectors on the marker posts

Road markers are partly equipped with blue reflective stripes. The semicircular profiles reflect light. The piece of plastic is small but has a great effect. Guess what.

Delineators roadside are road signs and to enforce road safety. The one-meter and twelve centimeters wide posts, plastic feature recessed white reflectors. They are in the dark; facilitate orientation in fog or snow.

Lately they are also fitted on routes with increased Wildwechsel with special blue reflectors, announced the TÜV Nord. These reflectors but do not serve the better orientation on the unlit road. But they are, for example, deer and wild boar keep them from running onto the road when a vehicle is approaching.

The principle: When the headlights strikes the reflectors of the posts, beams curved reflectors blue light in a wide angle. The blue scattered in the side street space light turn discourages wildlife. They appreciate it as restless and dangerous. It can avoid the driver can’t see clearly something without reflective material.

Blue light for more safety

While conventional methods such as hanging from CDs in trees, scent fences or red reflectors, the animals do not keep away from the roadway, Wildlife shy proven back in front of blue light. Probably because their specialized for seeing at dusk and dark eyes do not have receptors for red light. A research project by ADAC and the German Hunting Association could prove 2011 that can be accidents involving animals by using the blue reflectors are reduced by up to 80 percent. Accordingly, more and more vulnerable roads are equipped with them.

Blue light on the road

Motorists instantly know what the blue flashing light means. Whoever recognizes in the rearview mirror, immediately take your foot off the accelerator and makes way for police wearing safety vest, fire or ambulance service. But why is the blue light actually blue?

Safety for children

In the front of the Second Precinct, oversight of school transport sector, at which time recommendations for the safety of the children were given, was performed. Not only let children wearing reflective vest for enhance their visibility. The school bus must meet a number of basic requirements, so you can be current and mobilize the smallest of home, plus the role of parents is essential, since they must be fully aware of what is required and when opting for a service or other, opt for safety for their children over all things.

The Commissioner of the Second Police Station, Mayor Moraga wearing reflective clothing, said regarding the audit in the commune “is performed with the goal of delivering security for all children who are transported daily in the commune and its surroundings; Before this issue is critical that parents and guardians are informed of the measures to be taken to perform optimally busing.”

As watchdog and educational role to publicize the measures to be taken both carriers as well as parents and guardians to exercise adequately the busing within them are that at the time of vehicle audited one logo with which it is established that they have the requirements as enrollment in the National Register of School Transportation, drivers should have professional license class A1 or A3 and safety conditions as strobe light or retro reflective tape on both sides, or a fire extinguisher. In addition, parents have a fundamental role to enforce aspects as travel time not to exceed one hour, maximum capacity allowed for children or two adults who attend if they go more than 5 preschool children.

It’s bad idea to do this

The truth is that the idea promises. Imagine that every time radar you get caught at excessive speed, the camera photo you take your car disappear some of the numbers and letters in your registration. Such a solution prevents, among other things, your ID, and therefore you get rid of a fine for speeding. Surprisingly, this system is not new, nor a false trick. The idea is as simple as cover letters and numbers of registration with some stickers with a reflective surface, which bounces light flash radar, so that the resulting picture is distorted, preventing those letters are read and those numbers, and therefore your ID. In any case, to avoid fines for speeding there are no miracle solutions beyond the most effective of them all, not exceed the speed limits. And as we shall see this solution, which a priori seems so good, it’s a tremendously bad idea.

Apparently, in Germany it has become fashionable these days to install stickers of reflective material like this in the registration of cars, as told in ABC these days. It’s as simple as order them online and place in a few seconds. A Russian has popularized the web, and even shows their installation and operation in a Youtube video somewhat old, which is already close to 2 million views. But to get them not have to go that far, far less. And in fact we are talking about a solution that takes commenting on Spanish forums for years, so even the DGT has already reported on more than one occasion to use, and has extreme vigilance and persecution .

Germany surprising that it is precisely the country that has become fashionable. In its main motorways sections abound no speed limit, and in areas where the speed is restricted is for a very good cause, as being a very close area to a city, complicated weather conditions, or too much traffic congestion at peak times. And it’s dangerous if you don’t have some reflective tape on it. Remember that no speed limit of the Autobahn are not permanent, but depend in turn on other variable speed limits that are noticed by light signals as they decide those responsible for traffic management.

The big problem is that the risk of resorting to solutions miraculous how are you priori is really high, for the odds are that fraud is identified, and the sanctions that you could face for it. We talk about really tough sanctions, beside which a fine for speeding may seem ridiculous. A simple risk management and you should discourage resort to this trick, and opt for legal methods, such as warning devices based on GPS radar and the position of fixed radars, and the usual position of mobile radars, and caution.

* An enrollment in poor condition and carries a serious penalty, with a fine of 200 €. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

* Manipulate your car license plate to hinder identification is considered a very serious offense and is punishable by fines of up to 6,000 € and the withdrawal of six points card. A few weeks ago we presented the case of a motorist who had been fined € 2,100 for tuition handles your motorcycle with reflective elements, to transform a C in a G with black tape.

Identify a vehicle with a manipulated enrollment does not seem overly complicated. It is true that, apparently, these stickers are not recognized by the naked eye. But if mobile radar detects a speeding offense captures with his camera, and check that enrollment numbers are missing, how you think it will take to prosecute the offender to intercept and process the appropriate complaint?

The safety clothes test for winter

The collection winter trail of Raid light consists of thermal shirt, thermal tights, hat and headband and some made by reflective material. We tested all garments in winter conditions, both running and practicing mountaineering and ski mountaineering and the results have been excellent.

As already announced, the Equipment WINTERTRAIL of Raid light offers all the warmth and breathability for outdoor winter sport.

The winter trail range of Raid light is specially designed to practice outdoor winter sport with maximum comfort.

The winter trail set, which is available for both men and women differentiating patterns for better adaptability to each body, is formed of thermal shirt, thermal tights and cap with reflective tape. We tested the three pieces in winter conditions both running and practicing mountaineering and ski mountaineering and the results have been excellent.

It is a high – end kit, which will surely accompany us in all kinds of outputs at low temperatures. As Raid light suggests, are garments designed for us to focus on our effort, not fight the cold and indeed in very cold and at high altitudes days, we have taken and we only needed to complement it with windbreaks on the summits more exposed. When the sun warms and conditions are not freezing its high breathability guarantees that we will not overrun and that the body maintains excellent comfort.

Besides offering the best performance for sports, the winter trail set out for an attractive design that fits 100% to female morphology giving the garment of extraordinary comfort that allows the sport without any kind of chafing or restrictions.

The set winter trail of Raid light is not specially designed for use, although it includes several reflectors are not numerous enough to be used in light clothing front. Maillot includes a reflective thin with large Raid light logo on the chest, two reflective strips on the tip of his pockets and brand logo small on top of the back. Also meshes are equipped with reflective tape in his pockets and hat with reflective fabric has the logo with the same format as the leotard chest.

Visible on the way to school with their reflective satchels

For this school year, parents should incorporate a host of parameters to well equip their offspring. And the binder is an essential element. Furthermore the weight distribution of books and the back support in the child, the issue of visibility on the way to school is also crucial.

In Germany, the legislator has long taken the lead. A law requires manufacturers to equip the back and sides schoolbags at least 10% of reflective material. Moreover, the bag must comprise at least 20% of fluorescent materials. “Every year, road safety advocates buying retro-reflective tape to paste on school bags,” explains the director of road safety, Isabelle.

“We also run a campaign with small snowmen to hang bag back of reflective fabric or elsewhere. They are sold to municipalities which then distribute to their students, “she says. The presence of reflective surfaces on the satchel or clothing can identify a silhouette to 150 meters in the dark. A big difference because the car lights will allow seeing a figure at 30 meters.

Reflective jacket here is what the law

Not responsible for manslaughter the motorist who, outside an urban center and at night, hits a pedestrian who does not wear a reflective jacket. This is the orientation repeatedly established by the Supreme Court. The Highway Code states that, outside urban areas, pedestrians must circulate:

In case of carriageway in both directions of travel, in the opposite direction to that of the car.
In the case of single carriageway in the direction of traffic, on the right margin with respect to the direction of vehicle operating conditions.

From half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise, pedestrians on the carriageway of roads outside the towns, without public lighting, must march along a single row. No rule, however, imposes to pawn wear a reflective vest.

The only obligation is triggered only for the motorist and cyclist. In the first case, in particular, the braces or reflective vests must be worn by drivers of cars parked on the road, outside the towns, at night or in poor visibility conditions. It is mandatory to wear them when you go to fix the delta after a fault or if you leave the car stopped on the emergency lane. The obligation applies not only to the driver but also for any passengers.

The fact that no provision of the Highway Code requires the pedestrian to wear at night and outside urban centers, the reflective jacket does not mean that this behavior can be considered, albeit legitimate, even prudent. In fact, it is extremely likely that the pedestrian, in poor visibility conditions, cannot be seen by the driver and invested. In such cases, according to the Supreme Court, the motorist cannot be charged with murder, but always that his driving style is considered prudent and respectful of speed limits.

The driver must – on time underlines the jurisprudence – ask yourself in a position to anticipate and avoid the accident. This means respect not only the rules of the road, but do everything to avoid still critical events that may cause damage to third parties.

Being, however, ahead of the car, a pedestrian, the danger, it is certainly a situation impossible to predict, and, on the roads in the middle of the night, completely hidden from the darkness, does not remain on the side of the road in order to avoid such high mileage, even to avoid. So, in such cases, only if the pedestrian was wearing reflective clothes the driver can be held criminally responsible (the investment, it is foreseeable and avoidable with the light signal), otherwise it is exempt from all criminal liability.

High visibility vest compulsory for the car

High visibility vest, which is part of the compulsory vehicle; it belongs to the cab car and not in his suitcase. This is a basic lesson with which in recent days have encountered (and mingle can continue) motorists during traffic controls in the area of the metropolis. Central Bohemian police had engaged in preventive actions aimed at increasing visibility for motorists.

Its mission is to remind motorists obligation to use the vest whenever the driver out of the car, in order to solve a technical malfunction or accident. Now why should he have on hand – and not in the trunk reminded policewoman Monica?

Having a car in a reflective vest designed for the chauffeur duty – policemen, however, highlight the need to ensure security for the entire crew. The ideal is that for a rainy day should vest in the car ready with everyone sitting in it.

Yet it does not remain just rhetoric. As part of preventive police transmit a vest to a controlled driver. Designed just for passengers, “explained Monica. In addition, since the drivers were heard very positive response.

Reflective vest not the end

In just the first 13 days of the campaign distributed police during the nine audits in total 462 hi visibility vests; most in the nearest metropolis (in the region of Prague: West – within the territorial division of the Messenger of police activity – it was equal to a hundred and Prague-Country: East 20).

By far but still not all vest end. The current wave of the campaign is mapped out at until Dec. 15, when police officers with bulletproof jackets still meet motorists – and additional checks are going until February.

Reflective tape banish death

For drivers who stand out from the car in dealing with crisis situations, the use of warning reflective vests responsibility – as a useful supplement would be, however, the police also recommended pedestrians. Especially in the current season with short days, long nights and sometimes lousy visibility even at noon.

Without exaggeration, because in the dark or in the rain, can be a matter of life and death. For example, while the figure in a blue dress (yes, practically invisible, not just black!) Can only observe from 18 meters reflective tape are visible from up to 200m of distance. The driver who travels 75 km / h, while it needs about 30 meters out to react and managed to avoid pedestrians …

Reflective band: A necessity for road safety

Another accident killed two people on the road this weekend. The regional observatory for road safety is sounding the alarm. Pedestrians are particularly affected. The lack of lighting and reflective tape at night is a real problem.

Last Saturday, a pregnant woman and a teenage girl were killed in a car accident on the road of Apatou. They were not wearing a belt with reflective tape. Their deaths bring to twenty-four the number of fatalities on the roads of Guyana since the beginning of the year. The figure is increasing sharply compared with last year, according to the regional observatory for road safety. Last year for the same period, fifteen deaths related to traffic accidents were recorded. “I despair a little, we did a lot of prevention but apparently that’s not enough,” sighs Didier, director of the regional observatory for road safety in Guyana.

Speed is at the head of the causes and alleged aggravating circumstances. This year, ten people have died in accidents related to excessive speed, according to the balance sheet as at September 4th. Alcohol and / or drugs, are not far behind with eight deaths, and then come the helmet of default (four killed), the fault belt (two killed in Apatou September 3), priority (a shot) and the lighting failure (one killed). Pedestrians are part of this sorry record. Of the six killed in 2016, five were not wearing reflective vest while walking at night on the roadside.

“WE DO NOT CONVINCING BY PUNISHMENT”

Last year, between January and September, one pedestrian was killed on the road. Given this assessment, the authorities react. Like the Gendarmerie Company of Saint-Laurent du Maroni, who organizes an awareness campaign tomorrow? From 18 hours, four yellow safety vests dispensing stations will be set up in Saint-Laurent and Mana.

The prefect Martin Jaeger emphasizes the safety of pedestrians and two-wheelers. “We must stop thinking that it is because we see a vehicle that the driver sees us,” insists the prefect. He appealed to citizens’ initiatives to strengthen security on the roads and would mobilize associations and traders to distribute reflective bands. The two-wheels that have no light may be fined and radars continue to flash back and forth but, according to the prefect, “are not convinced by the repression.” The town councils should, in turn, address the issue of road lighting. Some lines are not lit and no channels are arranged for pedestrians. To reduce the number of road deaths, each shall adopt a responsible driving.
