Walkers compulsory to wear reflective vests

You live in a village where public lighting is not working or frequently move on foot in places where there is reduced visibility? Then, prepare your wallet. Transport Ministry wants to pedestrians is instructed to wear reflective vests or at least clothing with reflective elements.

 

“Especially in reduced visibility significantly shortens the distance at which a driver is able to spot pedestrians moving without reflectors on the road, which leads to accidents, often fatal,” said the office of Minister Anthony in the explanatory memorandum to its proposal.

 

The Ministry proposes that pedestrians wear reflective elements on clothing, in a situation where they will go by road or other public road without lights and in poor visibility. “Reduced visibility concerns in particular dawn, dusk and night, during the day, especially fog and heavy rain,” he says.

 

Acquisition costs are not reflective elements according to the ministry too high. “Given that it does not provide a detailed specification properties (dimensions, material) nor the location of the reflective elements for clothes (only general requirement for visibility on the part of other road users), these costs will on the part of pedestrians relatively low (cost of purchase reflective tape on the sleeve of about thirty to forty crowns per pedestrian) and essentially disposable, “says the ministry. These costs may be further lower in view of the fact that in particular sportswear already in itself often has an integrated reflective element, logos, strips and the like.

 

Reflective vests and sleeves are useful while a man will have to carry in a backpack or bag almost always. At least it is clear from the statement of the Ministry: “The above acquisition costs reflective element will have potentially give each pedestrian as they can get into a situation where it will be obliged to use.” On the other hand, in areas with dense buildings, it is possible to calculate the existence of sidewalks and public lighting, which will be obliged to have a reflective element, so this option is definitely not an area, for example, the obligation to wear after dark in cities reflective elements, office supplies.

Be more visibility on winter weather – reflective vest

The winter weather, and with it the difficult road conditions cause a decrease in safety for all road users. This obliges drivers to prudence, vigilance, to maintain a proper spacing and driving at the speed limit, while walking to the special care when crossing the road, including at a pedestrian without safety vest crossing and equipment with reflectors.

 

Today’s weather is not an ally of drivers. Rain freezing rain or snow; make the roadway is wet and slippery. Every driver should therefore be aware that it’s very easy in such circumstances to lose control of the vehicle and the braking distance is much longer than usual. Therefore, particularly in the areas of pedestrian crossings, the driver should slow to catch brake and avoid deductions. In such conditions, each driver should be alert for pedestrians, especially those outside the built-up going shoulder and on slippery surfaces can simply slip, causing danger to themselves and approaching the driver, as well as those who have no reflective material in dark clothing, they are almost invisible to the driver.

 

That’s why the police special appeal direct to the pedestrians, the most vulnerable on the road. They must realize that to avoid the deduction, you must cross the road at a considerable distance from the oncoming vehicle, because the length of the braking path is in such conditions significantly extended. Nor should it be running up the road, including the pedestrian crossing. Always look around carefully; making sure that the road does not appear in any vehicle, and normal cross the road does not end in serious injury or even death. For your own safety, and even the protection of your life, every pedestrian should be mandatory to equip the reflective element, to become more visible to other road users. Reflective vests, flashlights, umbrellas, reflectors on the hand, make a pedestrian will be visible to the driver not from a distance of 20-30 meters, but from a distance of up to 150 meters. This can ensure that the driver has time to slow down and there will be no deductions.

 

Adecco to call the police in such weather conditions all road kept prudence and caution, so that each of us can reach safely to her, if only a few minutes’ journey. For that to happen, each of us must observe established rules and traffic regulations.
