Today, walking and cycling have been the focus of attention both in Europe and in Hungary. The reason is that pedestrians and cyclists wearing reflective vest – as the most vulnerable participants in road traffic – a high proportion of the total traffic accidents. In typical accidents that almost always involve personal injury, and often severe, respectively. the tragic outcome end.
Hajdu-Bihar county in 2011 road traffic incident involving personal injury occurred in 501, of which 79 bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents caused 26. According to primary statistics this year, 21 people lost their lives in the county’s roads, of which 7 persons were pedestrians (two main causes, the main part 5), 1 bike (cause).
Overall, we can say that, despite all efforts, compared to the same period last year, both numerically (20 → 26) and the number of road traffic accidents caused by pedestrians as a proportion (3.37% → 5.18%) rose. For cyclists, the number of events that have occurred at any lower (89 → 79), but a proportion of the total accident data (15% → 15.7%) Observing that a lesser degree of increase occurred.
it can be said that there is no significant change compared to previous years, the event remains the most automobile drivers (289) caused by the examination of those causing accidents groups. They cyclists (79) follow, and the truck drivers (64).
Experiences carried out in the past year, the checks show that many people on foot and by bicycle road users are not fully aware of the relevant basic traffic rules and, unfortunately, more and more frequent are cases when you deliberately ignore the road signs (ie. red light passing through or a designated pedestrian crossing location away from trying to cross the road). The pedestrian with reflective tape traffic characteristics that inattentive and not sufficiently careful, takarásból take on the road or simply poorly estimated the distance of the approaching vehicle, its speed.
The bicycle road users should be particularly drawn to the attention of the Road Traffic Act to get to know and respect as one of the most common violations when oncoming traffic is one-way traffic on the road, so that they were not given permission for any additional tables. Debrecen does not have a single road, street or road either, where, under the “one-way road” sign “showing a bicycle unless ábrájú” would be placed out additional tables.
explanation of this law should be mentioned that the land unsuitable for transport such as cycling road roadway if it’s physically impossible to ride a bicycle. No unfit for the road-bike transport if it takes a lot of traffic and therefore dangerous to travel there or the road signs and rules prohibit the transport of bicycles, so in these cases the sidewalk cycling is prohibited.
The highway code between the bike at night and limited visibility, lights should be illuminated in a specific regulation, and the person driving the bike – outside built-up areas – must wear a reflective vest. If the bike sliding person (pedestrian) road outside the built-up area roadway, leállósávján, útpadkáján staying the night and in case of limited visibility safety vest (clothing) should wear.
The reservation shall 6/1990 (IV.12.) of the Kohen § 116 (1) monitoring and enforcement by the police to task. optional accessories listed in the above regulation – the vehicle must be fitted – no matter what kind of weather conditions, time of day or what kind of roadway runs a bicycle.
traffic accidents involving cyclists occur secondary reason is often irresponsible behavior of the bike drunk driver (driving) person. personal injury road traffic accidents caused by cyclists 11.3% of intoxication played a role. The checks will particularly timely to 01 July 2011, the date of an administrative fine will be levied against the drunk cyclists travel.
Given the above, it is important that the heads of pedestrians and non-motor-driven vehicles, particularly irregularly cyclistst.
