Reflective vests improve the safety of the youngest road users

180 reflective vests went to children from schools in Lemuroid and Sowing Botany. This is the result of the action organized in cooperation with three companies from the Plessey commune

 

The road to school for children who live in Selecta away from the city is not always safe. The youngest inhabitants sometimes have to move along the side of the road, without a road or pavement, only a hi vis vest. It is therefore important to carry out initiatives aimed at improving safety on the way of the youngest inhabitants of our commune. We decided to take this initiative – says Lukasz, the originator of the action.

 

Over 180 reflective safety vests were handed out. Nearly 140 went to pupils from grades I-III from ZSP in kindergarten students, and 45 to preschoolers and pupils from the 1st-3rd grade in Primary School in Sowing Botany. In both institutions, police officers also appeared, who explained to children how to behave on the road, what to avoid.

Walking bus: Children in hi vis vest walk to school

Germaine Muller borrowed yesterday, a mode of transport rather unusual for 6 children to go to school: the walking bus. Understand a walking bus. Since the beginning of the winter holidays, equipped with its fluorescent yellow safety vest, Sebastian made “the driver”. He volunteers accompanied the children on a route determined in advance. Two points of appointment are fixed, one Church Street, the other in front of the old Town Hall. The service set up by the two wheels Action Committee at several institutions, at the initiative of the town, aims to promote the smooth movement.

The same car for 500 meters is a project immediately appealed to Sebastian. “I’ve never taken the car to take my son to school Mateo says the father, green at heart. I will not overload the traffic with my car, and do not use gasoline. It’s a lifestyle. “” Not only children who came to school alone can now be under the supervision of an adult, but it also allows those who come by car to walk, do some activity. Reflective tape is a security guard for children on road.” adds Evelyn Günter, municipal councilor for youth. However, the sauce is still struggling to take. “Yesterday, I went with two children. People are not informed enough, “laments Sebastian.”Many parents have also become accustomed to taking their car to 500m,” adds Fabien Masson.

Of the 175 parents who responded to the questionnaire on travel patterns distributed ten living less than 500m from the school explaining take their car. To address the deficit popularity of walking buses, the Cadr soon organize a tour of the classes to inform students. Meanwhile, the project is emulated. The association of students of the school parents has already announced its intention to create a line that would join kindergarten to primary school. Also large sum of reflective vests are being distributed to ensure their safety.
