Safe Pedestrian Action in the Alexandrian Poviat

On Tuesday (22 January) from the early morning hours, Alejandra’s policemen carried out their own actions on the roads of the Alexandrian poviat. “Safe walking.” Activities lasted mainly in places where traffic incidents usually occur.

Pedestrians are a group of people who are more vulnerable than other users. Unfortunately, not everyone who moves on the road applies to the rules contained in traffic regulations. The main reason for pedestrian behavior resulting in traffic incidents is careless entry onto the road before a moving vehicle, moving on the wrong side of the road, crossing the road in a forbidden place and moving without reflective materials.

Any contact of a pedestrian with a vehicle in motion at the moment of impact exposes him to very severe effects. These people are not covered by the car’s body at the time of the event, they can not count on airbags. Therefore, special attention should be paid to this group of traffic participants. Unfortunately, there are still people who do not comply with traffic regulations. The road police officers revealed the most cases of passing in a prohibited place, but there were also pedestrians who move the wrong side of the road and do not use reflective tapes.

In front of 24 pedestrians committing offenses, the officers used instructions, while those who did not have reflective elements, police officers handed out reflective vests.
