Pedestrians, according to rescuers, cease to wear reflective clothing and break the law. At the same time, drivers are facing sharp sunlight at low times above the horizon or frequent fogs. Since the beginning of the year, 11 pedestrians have died on the roads. And the drivers complain that they don’t see them. The pitfall is really a lot on the roads. The Nova TV crew was also impressed in Climber.
On the way to the night-time control of pedestrians, the TV Nova crew encountered an unexpected obstacle. A flock of sheep ran down the road. Together with the owner, the animals drove to safety.
When the night walkers started, they didn’t have to wait long for the first unmarked one. They found him on the road behind Flagrant. The policeman gave him a reflective tape and arranged it. “It would be perfect if you put it in one of the places facing the road,” the policeman advised the pedestrians.
On the other side of Flagrant, another obstacle awaited, this time the deer. Then the crew, along with the police, missed a young woman returning from the afternoon shift. She had reflective tapes, but on her purse, which covered her arm.
The law instructs pedestrians reflective materials outside the village, but even in cities, they are not 100% visible. In dark clothes, a pedestrian becomes invisible.
“They have the talent to really take dark things into this darkness. It has happened to me a couple of times that I had to win the wheel, that I really saw the man at the last minute. Nova your impressions one of the drivers.
Another trap for the drivers is the morning sun low above the horizon. The addressed drivers agree that it is uncomfortable, sharp and dazzling.
“Over the past year, we have recorded 167 traffic accidents involving pedestrians, of which 47 were pedestrians. It is an increase of 3%,” TV Nova spokeswoman Techno Khabarovsk told TV Nova. Rescuers set off every other day for such excursions.
According to Lena Sikorsky, spokeswoman of the Police Presidium, 11 pedestrians have died since the beginning of this year. Other dozens were seriously injured.
Tragically, 7 out of 10 pedestrian traffic accidents end. According to experts, this happens more frequently in winter, which is related to reduced visibility and dimming. Critical points are the neighborhoods of schools or large businesses that operate in shift operations.
