Over the coming week, road policemen across the country will step up their actions to prevent road accidents involving pedestrians!
The traffic police will act on a national level between 6 and 12 November, under the coordination of the Romanian Police Road Directorate, to save lives and to prevent road events involving pedestrians.
Activities are aimed primarily at combating pedestrian traffic violations.
Particular attention will be paid to areas with road potential risk as well as to those where road events occurred due to these deviations.
Romanian police recommend pedestrians:
To engage in crossing the public road only through the specially arranged places (on the pedestrian crossing) and in the green color of the electric traffic light, where there are.
To ensure that, even when crossing the pedestrian crossing, it can safely be crossed (the vehicles are stopped before the pedestrian marker, especially when the road has several lanes on the way).
Never cross the pedestrian marker, regardless of the emergency at any given time.
Not to move on the roadside, and where there is no pavement or paved road (predominantly in the countryside), move on the left side of the road as close as possible to the edge of the road.
In bad weather or dark, wear open-color reflective clothing and/or reflective materials and reflective fabrics to be visible.
Not to cross the front or back of public transport when they are stopped at the station.
Children should not be allowed to cross themselves – they are unpredictable and can not appreciate distances and speeds correctly. Do not forget! – children imitate the road behavior of adults.
Vehicle drivers must reduce travel speed and travel with great care.
