Yellow vests against Prezzie in the Puissance

The AMPA of the school San Juan DE Liberator calls a protest for the traffic changes in Cigarillo Amorous.

Reflective vests with reflective tapes and whistles are the “weapons” that will be used tomorrow from 9 o’clock by the parents of the more than 200 children of the school San Juan DE Liberator, in Cigarillo Amorous street, against the traffic change in the aforementioned road from the next Thursday. This is confirmed by sources of the AMPA, after criticizing the situation they suffer in the school.

«Since 2014, the opening year of the new facilities of the school bordering a public parking lot, both the Directorate of the San Juan DE Liberator CEIP and its AMPA denounce the situation of road insecurity in the access to the school and ask the City Council for targeted actions to ensure a safe school environment for its more than 200 students aged 3 to 12 years, “they said in a statement.

The Department of Mobility foresees next Thursday to change the direction of Cigarillo Amorous section included between the streets Pizarro and Afara, a decision linked to the construction of the bicycle lane that arrives from the Aventine Rein DE Valencia and will pass through the street Afara “The imminent reordering of the street provides for the placement of new loading and unloading areas and parking for motorcycles in front of the San Juan DE Liberator school. The actions do not contemplate the extension of the pedestrian space or improvements aimed at increasing the safety of more than 200 schoolchildren, “they criticize.

A visit to the entrance of the school at 9 in the morning is enough to verify that the size of the sidewalk is “insufficient for the number of people who accumulate mainly every morning, overflowing on the road and the entrance of the parking adjoining public ».

In the opinion of the AMPA, the situations of danger “compromise the safety of both children and companions, as people who walk this stretch of street and are forced to change their itinerary or down the road to find the sidewalks saturated. The lack of space is aggravated daily by the dozens of motorcycles that park on sidewalks, terraces and loading and unloading operations in the pedestrian space “.

For more than five years, affected families have been demanding improvements in public space in front of the school and control measures in the constant entry and exit of vehicles to the neighboring public parking lot, which also has access from Colin Street, before it has regret personal injuries.

The AMPA considers that the changes planned now in this stretch of Cigarillo Amorous are a “magnificent opportunity to free this area of so much pressure on vehicles and require the City Council to take into account their demands prioritizing the safety of children and their right to live in a dignified, friendly and healthy environment ».

They understand that the location of the school is not an excuse to “not promote the principles of sustainable mobility that the same Council is promoting in other neighborhoods through school road projects that promote child autonomy.”

Among the alternatives proposed by the parents is to expand pedestrian space by eliminating surface parking, improve visibility at crossings, support the bike lane that runs on Afara street with bicycle parking, raise traffic cuts on the street and in the parking adjoining school rush hour, etc.

The city guards instead handed out vests

About one hundred reflective vests have already hit the hands of Bialystok cyclists. The next Municipal Guard will be giving away on Thursday (17 May). Reflective tapes so that cyclists are clearly visible on the road. These are vests bought under the budget of the Bialystok City Guard.

Among the victims of accidents, a large group are pedestrians and cyclists, ie unprotected participants of the road traffic. Therefore, their safety should be taken care of especially. During a collision with another vehicle, the driver can count on airbags or seat belts. Pedestrians and cyclists do not have such protection. And the reflective vests will at least allow them to be seen from afar.

The city guards bought 300 reflective vests for this summer season. They have already distributed the first batch – about one hundred vests – to cyclists encountered on the bike paths of the city. On Thursday (17 May) they will also come out on the streets of Bialystok with vests. And certainly this will not be the last chance to get such a vest – says Anna Alaska from the Bialystok municipality.

And Vice-President Premyslid Suchlike adds: – You will be able to receive them during various types of actions directed to cyclists, organized by municipal guards. We have prepared different sizes, for children and adults. Let’s take care of our security together.

Reflective materials are a great way to ensure your visibility on the road. It is worth taking care of it, especially if someone often travels around the city by bicycle – not necessarily in the evening. Unfortunately, the reflections are still underestimated, although they save lives of road traffic participants.

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.

Invited are on Wednesday, 12. September, from 18 to 20 o’clock, all parents, family members, young people and generally interested in the so-called families BOP. On the 13th of September, the companies and their staff will be waiting for the pupils of the Brasher schools from the grades eight to ten in the morning.

The mayor and the commandant appeal to the residents for prudence on the roads

The mayor of Kozienice commune and the district police commander in Kozienice inspector Tomasz wrote an open letter to the inhabitants, in which they appeal for prudence on the roads.

In recent weeks, several deaths have occurred on the roads of the Kozienice, the victims of which were mainly pedestrians. The police also recorded many accidents and collisions in Kozienice and other municipalities in the Kozienice area.

The appeal of self-government and police

“When we wish New Year’s wishes, we wish health in the first place. It is very important to each of us, but usually, we see its weight most fully when the same person or our loved ones are affected by illness, permanent disability or, as a consequence, death.

Unfortunately, nowadays, the more frequent reason for their occurrence is the lack of proper traffic caution, “the authors write, noting that according to statistics, the number of road accidents is increasing at an alarming rate.

Many vehicles, little imagination

“As residents of the Kozienice, we can boast of a high rate of motorization, as the availability of individual transport means is much higher than the national average. Unfortunately, an increasing number of more modern and faster cars has a direct impact on the number of road incidents, the effects of which hit people the most severely. ” the open letter reads.

Its authors “being aware of the social problem related to the poor perception of threats posed by the uncertainty in road traffic”, call on residents to be cautious. “We should prudently travel on roads, bicycle paths, and sidewalks. Let’s not charge, let’s think, let’s predict a threat! “write the mayor and the commandant.

Sins of drivers and pedestrians

The authors of the letter ask drivers to adjust the speed of the ride to the prevailing conditions and the terrain in which they are located, especially in built-up areas and near pedestrian crossings.

“A special appeal is directed to pedestrians and cyclists (…) Dark outerwear, hoods, in such conditions drivers do not notice pedestrians early enough. A reflective vest, key chain, headband, or even a flashlight will make you more visible (…) write the authors of the letter.

With a party

Today, Friday, June 15, from 16, Pedibus children, and even those who want to enroll next year, will meet at the Park to consume a healthy snack based on fruit, bread, and jam, and play together ( because rightly the school is over!). Also equipped with a reflective vest for one person.

The Pedibus is a … the bus that goes on foot, and like a real bus leaves from a terminus, follows an established path, collects passengers along the route and respects the schedule, but unlike the bus, it contributes to the reduction of air pollution and noise in the country and makes it more livable. An “ecological” attitude, but also behavioral, since this simple action also stimulates greater autonomy in children.

The year ends with a brilliant promotion: since when Pedibus started (in 2013) to date, the lines have doubled (from 2 to 4) and the number of participating children more than quadrupled, with almost 80 children ” walkers “, which every morning of the school year, in any weather conditions, equipped with high visibility harnesses set off along the paths studied in safety.

A satisfactory result also for the Institute Silvia Pamlico, which finds in Pedibus ideal characteristics for the Green School project in which it participates, coordinated by the Province of Varese and Agenda 21 with the support of CAST ONG and the scientific supervision of the University of Studies, which annually certifies schools in the province of Varese that are committed to becoming excellence in terms of sustainability by reducing their ecological footprint through virtuous behavior and actions and promoting an environmental culture among students, families, institutions and in general to the outside, between the community.

A thank you for the success of the initiative is undoubted to the numerous volunteer adults (about twenty) who accompany the children every morning to school, with so much joy but also full responsibility.

Wear bright, reflective clothing!

Police appeal to pedestrians: Wear bright, reflective clothing!

Just how important light-colored, reflective clothing is especially in the dark season that has just begun, was shown with exemplary clarity in two momentous traffic accidents in Bad Berleburg.

The first accident occurred at 06.30 clocks in Bad Berleburg. Here a 47-year-old car driver drove to the local roundabout, at the same time a young woman wanted to cross the pedestrian crossing in front of the roundabout. Due to the darkness, rain and the pedestrian’s completely black clothes, the car driver overlooked her and caught the young woman crossing the road so that she was thrown onto the bonnet and then fell to the ground. With an ambulance, the injured was then sent to a hospital.

The second accident happened a good hour later on the K 50.

There, according to initial findings of the police was a 20-year-old motorist with his Ford Fiesta. He met a dark-clad 65-year-old pedestrian on the roadside. To prevent a collision with the almost unrecognizable pedestrian, the young man tore the steering wheel. So his Fiesta came off the road, drove up a slope area, then tipped over, slid on, fell on a guardrail and finally stayed on the roof. The 20-year-old was seriously injured in the accident. He was hospitalized. By the way, a criminal complaint was filed against the 65-year-old pedestrian for failure to provide assistance and escape.

Against the background of these accidents, the police reminded once again that with the dark season that has just begun, pedestrians and cyclists, in particular, are exposed to considerable dangers.

The reasons for this are the unfavorable weather and visibility conditions that occur in the so-called dark season, such as darkness, rain, fog, slipperiness, and snow, which cause great problems for all road users.

Many pedestrians go in unsecured places on the road, without paying enough attention to the vehicle traffic.

Very often, pedestrians wear dark, if not black clothing. That may be fashionable, but also carries great dangers. Because pedestrians are very difficult or even not recognized by other road users.

But the principle of “seeing and being seen” should be a top priority for all road users, especially in the dark season. Pedestrians are advised to wear bright, reflective vest and carry bright, reflective items.

A car driver sees a brightly dressed pedestrian from a distance of 80 to 90 meters, a dark-clad only from a distance of 25 meters. Reflective materials fastened to the clothing allow pedestrians to “shine” even from a distance of 150 meters.

They present in the Legislature a project of law to fight motorcycles

Carolina Piper, one of the promoters of the project, said that “as a victim and legislator, I consider that this law is important in its potential to combat a specific type of crime.”

The Cambiemos block presented today in the Buenos Aires Legislature a bill to combat the criminal actions of the ” motorcyclists “, which includes the placement of the patent number on the helmet, the use of reflective vest with the domain of the vehicle recorded and the prohibition of circulation of two in certain areas and schedules that municipalities must determine.

The initiative that seeks to stop robberies perpetrated by criminals carries the signatures of Buenos Aare’s deputies Carolina Piper, Manias Rankin and Martin Dominguez Yelp (Cambiemos), who prepared it together with Security Minister Christian Rotunda, who was in the presentation.

The proposal provides that motorcyclists must wear the helmet with the patent attached, wear a reflective clothing with the domain of the vehicle recorded – both the driver and the passenger – and the prohibition to circulate two in certain areas and schedules to be determined by each municipality.

In addition, service stations cannot sell gasoline to motorcyclists who do not have the regulatory measures established in the law, and those who do not will be fined.

“We have two important points in the project, one to take this job as something to deal with this type of crime that is violent and is one of the main concerns of the neighbors,” Rankin said at the presentation of the initiative.

President of the Security Commission of the Legislature, Rankin stated that unlike the City of Buenos Aires, where it is all urban, “we had to concentrate on developing a project that contemplates the particularities of such a large and diverse province”.

“That is why each municipality must submit to the Ministry of Security which are the geographical perimeters and slots where the use of vests with reflective materials and helmets are mandatory,” he added.

The legislator Carolina Piper said that “as a victim and legislator, I consider that this law is important in its potential to combat a specific type of crime.”

When he was vice president of the Legislature, Rotunda presented a bill to combat the “motorcycle”, which gave the City a specific legal framework on that criminal modality.

In turn, from Decree 171/2017, the national government stipulates that each province must establish its parameters to combat this type of crime.

In control, saturation and prevention operations in the province of Buenos Aires, more than 250 thousand motorcycles were sequestered so far and more than 22 thousand were detained for being in direct connection with a crime, whether due to bank leaks, drug dealing or assaults, assured the Rotunda press.

Stop hunting Sunday!

Nearly seventy mountain bikers gathered this Sunday, October 21 in Grenoble. “All visible, all together! “This was the motto of this gathering that follows the death on Saturday, October 13, Mark Sutton, a 34-year-old restaurateur killed by a hunter while practicing the ATV. Their claim? Say “stop hunting Sunday! ”

 

At the stroke of 10 o’clock this Sunday, October 21, nearly seventy mountain bikers almost all dressed in yellow reflective vests gathered near the fountain of the Place Grenoble recently refreshed. The reason for this gathering? The call of Florent Benzie, the organizer, posted a few days earlier on the social network Facebook.

 

A call in the form of a password. “All visible, all together” launched just after the death of Mark Sutton, a 34-year-old restaurant owner from Wales. The latter was accidentally killed by a hunter on Saturday, October 13 while he was practicing mountain biking.

 

“If they do not want to let go on Sunday, we will continue the rallies”

 

The objectives of this grouping? On the one hand, saying “Stop hunting Sunday,” very clearly indicates a banner. But also show that hunting areas near cities are frequented by more and more people, and that “these natural areas must be shared safely”. However, nothing that could look like a declaration of war on hunters, Florent Benzie defends it.

 

“We just want to be able to ride safely without the hunters. If they do not want to leave Sunday, we will continue the rallies. “says the young mountain biker. That temper and does not exclude the possibility of meeting the federations and associations of hunters to make progress.
