I want crossed pedestrian crossings near schools

Through the local councilor Kecks Gabriel and the public manager of the County Council, Sabot Josef, the UDMR insists that the City Hall should arrange the passage of pedestrians in front of each school unit in Ordeal.

The two held a press conference on Tudor Vladimir street in front of the Cassava Immure School, where a woman arrived last Thursday and took her child from school was hit on the pedestrian crossing. Together with Pot Abacus, president of the school’s parents’ association, politicians also presented the temporary solution they propose: the provision of flag boards and information boards for pedestrian crossings.

The local councilor, a teacher at Zachary Immure, showed that the school has submitted such requests to the City Hall as early as 2014 when the school was on Mikhail Eminence Street. Some have remained unanswered, the most recent promise a solution in a rather uncertain future.

“The sent addresses did not have any results. At the last of them, in November 2017, the City Hall replied that the request was examined in the Circulars Committee. It has determined that the pedestrian crossing will continue to be signaled in the same way, and the technical project on the traffic on the Levine street from the new bridge over Crisis Pederast will be regulated and its situation “, Kecks said.

Insisting that because of fatigue and agitation, drivers, parents, and children may be unaware of the passage, Sabot believes that the cost of a low-cost passage at the price of people’s safety cannot be balanced. Up to an acceptable solution on the part of the municipality, the parents of the students at the Zachary School have put into practice a pilot project: at the headlights of the pedestrian crossing, on the lighting pillars, they placed flags with reflective tapes to attract the attention of the drivers. The mechanism is simple, the pedestrians take the flag, raise it to make it visible to the drivers, and leave it on the pillar across the road, explains Pot Abacus.

He pointed out that the parents’ organization had begun to collect signatures for the installation of crossed-out passages or buttonholes at all school institutions in Ordeal.

Such solutions are already operational at the Art High School, Photofit Park, Lucian Blag High School or Dacha Gymnasium. Such an alienation was also mounted on the crossing of pedestrians near the Ceausescu school but, in time, deteriorated, as did the municipality’s interest in the safety of small pedestrians. They are best dressed in reflective vests or with reflective materials.

City Hall: We’ll analyze

On behalf of the City Hall, Deputy Mayor Berta Florin, the coordinator of the Technical Department, commented that “if we meet all the requests for pedestrian crossings, they will all be elevated”. He acknowledges that the City Hall rejected the request of the Zachary School last year to disrupt the passage from Tudor Vladimir, arguing that the street is crowded and the running speed is low. As proof of the care of the City Hall for pedestrians, Berta said that no more than last week was the request of the local councilor Pesto Halma to derive zebras in the Bighorn Episcopate, because it was justified.

“And as a result of our interest in pedestrian safety, 2017 was the first year we had no fatal accidents on pedestrian crossings,” the deputy mayor insists.
