On the occasion of Grandma’s Day, policemen and city guards in Czechs distributed the reflective tapes to the seniors. The officers emphasize that this is an opportunity to make older people aware of how to safely navigate around the city.

– This Grandma’s Day and Grandfather’s Day tomorrow was a pretext to once again meet with seniors, remind them of caution on the road, to always look around before we enter the street said Carolina Saskatchewan from the Municipal Police Department in Czechs.

– We also provide reflective materials to light our seniors a bit, but of course, we remind you that this reflective clothing is only an addition, our caution is the most important, an officer added while moving on the way.

Residents of the city were positive about the action. Many of them admitted that thanks to reflections, it feels safer on the road.

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.

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

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.
