People wear reflective clothing attend the 10th reflective day

The 10th reflective day is marked with events across the country. On Egertorget in Oslo got passing early risers served dance, music and reflective tapes.

Amidst an unfolded pedestrian field of reflective material was director Jan Johansen in Road Safety. Along with dancers in reflective clothing from Bandar, police and Safe Traffic employees he distributed reflexes to people on their way to work. Several were also joined by a coffee and scones from the booth on Egertorget.

I’m happy for the markings of Reflective day around the country. It is important for us to highlight the work we are doing and tell people that reflex saves lives, says Johansen.

The director recalls that reflex reduces the risk of getting hit in the dark by around 85 percent.

Every year, almost 20 pedestrians killed in traffic, 90 are severely injured, while 470 are slightly injured. We know that many of these could escape accidents if motorists had seen them, says Johansen.

The event in Oslo is collaboration between the Road Safety and Traffic Safety Oslo (OTU), while the distributed reflectors are designed by Apparatjik. Attending Egertorget was also Moods of Norway founder Simen Staalnacke, who previously collaborated with Safe Traffic to increase reflex use among people.

We are working to integrate reflective clothes as a design element. It’s the future and making reflex to a part of everyday life, says Staalnacke.

He finds it strange that people constantly need to be reminded how important it is reflective.

Safety is priority number one for most of us. Yet people keep forgetting reflex, says Staalnacke.

Among the passers-by who were joined by a reflex, was Vibe Jesse. She had received an event invitation via Face book and knew about Reflex day in advance.

I guess I’m not so good at using reflex that I should have been. It is hard to remember and attach reflective strip on all garments. But today there are many cool reflexes that can be used as decorations for clothes. It was not like before, she says.

Vida was joined by reflexes, scones and coffee in the morning. He was pleased with it, and says that reflexes enough coming into use.

Every morning and evening I use reflective tape on the dog. Then it is completely dark along the road and important to be visible, says Kårikstad.

He is often intimidated by pedestrians who appear without reflection, when he drives a car.

The experienced my wife and I announced yesterday. When people cross the road in dark clothing, they are very difficult to see, tells Kårikstad.

Transport unions declared a strike alert in Prague

Prague – Transport unions declared a strike alert because of low salaries of bus drivers. If the conditions governing chauffeurs regular buses do not improve, the unions are willing to come up with a sharper form of protest, including strikes. At a press conference, said the chairman of the Trade Union of Transport (OSD) Lobos Pomajbík. The unions pointed out that the county contract to operate bus routes winning companies that reduce the cost of transport to the detriment of wages drivers.

“The bus driver wearing refelctive coverall is spent at work more than 300 hours per month at 72-82 crowns gross per hour,” said Pomajbík. More money received by him as well as temporary workers in the supermarket when unloaded fruit in the supermarket shelves. The number of overtime hours that drivers with reflective clothing are used, among other things, because the chauffeurs market shortage, may involve an increased risk of accidents, he added.

Willingness to act today in a statement said the South Moravian Governor and Chairman of the Board of the Association of Regions Michal Hayek. The issue of salaries is willing to tackle as soon as he returns from a working visit to China, which is part of the delegation led by Prime Minister Bohuslav Socotra. “I believe in an agreement which will help calm the situation in the future of angry drivers. At the same time must be justifiable to taxpayers and the Finance Ministry, which controls the regional economy,” said Hacek. He also said that the problem also seek the opinion of the Office for the Protection of Competition, which supervises over public procurement.

To support the claims of drivers on the minimum wage in regional tenders for the operation of bus line skates unions are willing to take advantage of stronger forms of protest. According Pomajbík may be for example a local strike, but which is threatening to escalate into a wider form of protest. He said the unions would nevyhlašovaly strike alert, if you are not sure that they are able to accede to these actions vigorously. But he also said that the OSD prefers to deal with the situation by agreement.

The problem according to the trade unions is the fact that the contracts for each connection are concluded for a period of five or ten years. The price of labor is as chauffeurs and pinned her there is no space in this period increased. Although it is not possible at such a long time to fix the price of fuel or technology now fix rates of wages can be, added the chairman of the Czech-Moravian Confederation of Trade Unions (CMKOS), Josef Středula. In addition, the amount of those wages is not enough to make a decent chauffeur could make a living, he added.

The issue of wages but the bus drivers and truck drivers CMKOS intends to open on December tripartite negotiations, said Středula. On this date willingness to monitor drivers’ strike and Jawbone and Liberec trade unionists that wave of protests this fall began. “We want to work with data and know how many people will (strike) from Moravia, much of it and for this region,” said the president in mid-November Jawbone basic trade union bus line George kitchenette.

Drivers launched a wave of protests called Jawbone invitation that he wanted to trade unionists from Jawbone and Nisei and Liberec point to the low salaries of bus drivers on routes ordered the county. Who in support of their demands wear safety vest like chauffeurs thousands across the country; the latest in a series of protests was the Wednesday performance drivers with regular services in region.

The tenders would be one of the key conditions of compliance with the minimum wage for drivers. This corresponds to 100 crowns per hour. Drivers are entitled to such conditions in the public procurement has recently been supported by the Prime Minister Bohuslav Socotra.

Here fear mothers that lives may be lost

Residents in Monika are terrified to go along way. Now they are demanding that coming establish a cycle path.

Toddler’s mothers Heller Ridderseth Hind, Elisabeth Runes and Merete Welled goes with heart in my throat every time the rolling walks along the road in Monika. In 60-zone waiting schoolchildren in reflective accessories on the bus, parents wheeling prams and people are walking. It is a risky sport, believes mothers.

It is a known fact among the residents out here that it is dangerous to walk along the way, says Heller Ridderseth Hind.

It was Sunday morning that Hind had enough. When she went for a walk with six month old Sana, she had to jump into the ditch with the stroller to avoid being hit.

I thought that this stops. Imagine if there was a child who walked alone along the road, she says.

Thus she created the group “We requiring pedestrian and cycle in Monika before lives are lost” on Face book. Since then, nearly 300 people “liked” group.

One would almost think that there must be an accident here until something is done, says Hind.

They all have experienced scary situations along the way, and say that they are not the only ones.

There is a lot of traffic along the road, both cars and heavy transport. Only during the five minutes iTromsø stood with the mothers at the way it happened almost an accident between two trucks because of high speed.

We feel almost unwelcome on the road. Cars pushing us out of the ditch, says Merete Welled.

In recent years, many families settled in the area. School-age children need to Skjelnan School, and most diverting bus. Then they both cross the road and wait for the bus while other heavy vehicles and passenger cars driving past.

It is very bad streetlights here. When it’s dark, it’s especially scary to walk here, said Hind.

Residents in the area were earlier this year informed that the Public Roads Administration had allocated money to develop pedestrian and bicycle lanes in Monika. They claim that they were told that the work would start early this fall. Still nothing has happened.

There is a desperate situation. I’m tired of going with your heart in your throat, says Hind.

City Councilor for Urban Development, Ragni Løkholm Romberg (Ap), says that from the municipality is a priority job to put in place cycle path outside urban areas.

Pedestrian in reflective clothing and cycle path will be constructed, and the Public Roads Administration has worthy planned pathways, says Romberg.

We are currently preparing now, and during November, we seek out the job to tender, says Blip.

She says that excavation work will begin next year.

Then we will continue to dig from the time the field’s end by Skjelnan and 500 to 700 meters further towards Monika, says Blip.

Road safety tips for bicycle riders.

Sometimes we tend to consider the reflective stripes as accessories. Their roles should, however, not be neglected: they protect us when riding at night. Thanks to them, we are, indeed, visible to motorists, which reduce the risk of accidents.

Why invest in reflective tape?

This type of accessory cyclists makes them visible when they roll in very dimly lit areas or at night. All road users are, thanks to this, able to see the bike and take into account the presence of it when it is moving.

Despite the legislation, too few cyclists are aware of the importance of being able to report their presence on the road. So cyclists have extra protection against accidents, which will be recalled, are wreaking havoc every year, so it is very important to stick at least one reflective tape on your vehicle.

Where to install reflective strips on your bike?

The reflecting band is in general, mounted on the bicycle rim. Its size is designed so that the cyclist is as visible as possible.

Your bike should normally be equipped with reflectors, for reflecting light. By law, your bicycle must, indeed, have in the back, the sides, the pedals and front. With this precaution, it is possible for you to report your presence, regardless of the angle at which you are located.

To be even safer, you can also invest in clothing with reflective strips or stick one on your reflective clothes. In case of rain or in the dark, and there will be no chance that other road users do not spot you.

How to choose your reflective tape?

In terms of reflective tape, aesthetic criterion is what prevails the most. You choose it, in fact, not based on this criterion: you must choose to optimize your visibility.

For efficiency, the rider can opt for bands of gray colors that reflect more light.

Moreover, the type of reflective tape on which you lean, buy those that conform to current standards in this area; these products are recognizable by the CE mark on the package of the product.

It was the second last part of our series on bicycle tires; we soon went around this universe. We will return soon with a comparison between the tires with rigid or flexible rod.
