Motorcyclists only required to wear safety vest at night

Most of them, as the case of Matthew Carrillo who more than 20 years driving these vehicles, argues that the measure is good because without this element may drive with freshness, and appease partly the sweltering heat in the day They do on the streets.
He said that even serve to improve personal presentation of many citizens who had already adopted the safety vest as a garment over clothing.
However, Richardin Ochoa, one of the spokesmen of motorcyclists in Villavicencio, said it should be very clear statement of the Ministry, because although leaves will motorcyclist whether or not to wear the vest on the day itself requires avaialble, that is, to transport either in a bag in a suitcase or trunk of the bike.
He clarified that the standard does not contemplate that the color of the vest should be only orange as it was decreed in other cities. Different color, the garment should have reflective elements to be visible at night.
In this regard, the Ministry of Local Transit noted that although not require the reflective vest is day dress by motorcycle drivers, insist it is still used voluntarily and throughout the day as a vital element for safety.
By far the most affected are the manufacturers and traders vests, who say they suffer huge losses in sales bajonazo.
Direct injured
At least 200,000 pesos estimate traders reflective vests lost daily by not demanding motorcyclists to carry this element during their mobilization during the day.
Manufacturers vests as Olga Jimenez, said Llano 7 days the average daily sale is eight vests, ranging in cost from 20 thousand to 45 thousand pesos.
However, with the new decisions of the Ministry of Transport, now marketed estimate that only four or less.
Like other manufacturers and traders, it warns that although sales will be diminished, nor may lower the price of the vests, as the cloth and reflective tape that are made, along with other inputs, constantly rising price.
They note that although they have not been informed of the new measures, of course, announce that they asked to reconsider the decision to ban the vest day to the appropriate entity.
It should not be prohibited
Police Traffic and Transportation said that while accepting the changes to the requirement of reflective vest motorcyclists, continue to insist that the garment is vital for the safety of driver and passenger to mobilize element in these vehicles.

According to Major Henry Peralta, commander of the police unit, although they have not received orders from the high command of the police, when they will not punish motorcyclists not wearing vest before six o’clock.
The official said the measure should be explained, since some motorcyclists believe that other regulations such as banning the grill or helmet use, which continue to be dismantled.

Traffic accounts for an important place in the child rearing

everyday lives. Traffic begins doorstep or -caravan thereafter. The child is developing as he practiced correctly routed and driving.
Traffic education in kindergarten through play and daily activities where the child learns to behave safely in traffic as a pedestrian. Traffic education in a seamless manner through the different subjects – examines, explores, heard, spoken, comparing, molded, drawing, painted, glued, singing, etc. in transportation issues.
Very good experience and practice of our kindergarten children each week of the fall of the traffic organization. Traffic Week, the children met on 19 October, a juvenile police officer with reflective vest Mary Punakuga. Children got new knowledge and skills in the functioning of the traffic, the reflex of necessity, and the work of the police. Toddler’s policeman had a lot of questions. Excitement sparked a police investigation of a car.
The groups crafted headgear policeman that the group “traffic supervision” exercise. Vane-mass and the average group of children liikluskäitumisalased rooted knowledge of the textbook “Zebra and Fred” form. In the younger groups were heard and discussed liiklusalaseltraamatukese “Jute and Jasper moves” basis. Teaching activities in the said group of teachers also use DVDs ‘be seen’, which traffic the dog Weirdo teaches children to behave properly in traffic.

Highways Agency traffic education in the southern region of the office for a week, we brought traffic to kindergarten stroller traffic, whose elements, it was possible to design a temporary traffic campus nursery school hall, or outdoors group various traffic situations play out. Traffic through the Bear introduces children to important traffic signs, their meanings and drivers. Children learn proper behavior in traffic every day activities, walks, study visits in real traffic. Traffic Dipper possible to implement both the children and the teachers’ creative approach to the design of various traffic situations. Children can be encouraged to create a campus in traffic and use of the existing road signs. The teacher here is indicative and illustrative role.
Parents’ role in the habits of the child’s traffic shaping and anchoring giving a personal example is crucial – the child mimics the behavior of their parents. From home, your child can subconsciously lead role models for a lifetime, acquiring the basic truths of behavior, attitudes, and roads in the surrounding traffic environment. If a child is experiencing repeated that with their parents go over the road red traffic lights or at pedestrian with reflective clothing crossing a few meters away, or the parents do not attach it automotive vehicle safety belt runs kindergarten learning-listening “sand.” Much easier it is to design the child correct behavior when change lies with the well-established habits. It is therefore crucial to acknowledge the role of parents in their child safe traffic behaviors.
Every autumn, this raises the Estonian Police conducted campaigns, the media, the reflector theme. Organized in cooperation with the Road Board, the reflex of our preschool education, which the kids got to see the video clips, the reflector and the need to talk about their experiences. Lots of excitement offered children outdoors at night-time test conducted in reflector and without reflector. Each child received training at the end of the new reflector. Fortunately, the design of children’s clothes mostly been mainly sewed onto the reflector stripes, but do not double-Karis – better more than not at all. Thanks to the project we got our Estonian Railway trackside than 100 kindergarten children reflective vest which children walking and excursions outside the territory of the kindergarten bear. Our kindergarten employees are very important to the safety of children in traffic.
The teachers and the children’s group of attendants to increase the competence organized in collaboration with the National Road Administration on 14 December traffic control training, which was tested at the end teachers’ knowledge of traffic. Each also received a training grant of the certificate.
Ülenurme kindergarten yard is planned in the spring of this year to set up a local area Lions Club with the help of stationary traffic city where trolley possibilities even better and more extensive traffic. It will allow children to safe cycling practice, which is currently in the yard, cannot be done. KoostööÜlenurme Gymnasium manual training instructor Thomas West has been a pleasant and long-lasting. We have cooperated in so-called puuprojektis three occasions, thanks to which we have a hall of 25 kindergartens nice child-friendly colorful pictures of chairs, wooden floor puzzle Estonia and a large dollhouse. Highways Agency initiated traffic Dipper project is a teacher Toomas Western guidance of finalizing Ülenurme kindergarten children with safety vest delight trolley with large traffic signs, their bases, “zebra” pretty authentic lights and a large number of colored blocks. We are grateful Ülenurme High School, the kindergarten students is crafted tools could enrich children’s game -and the site.

Winter tire: equip yourself with reflective vest

Winter time, it also concerns the automotive and pedestrians. We must equip!
Winter time, it’s not good news for motorists in safety vest. The roads are slippery, the densest fog, night hours more numerous. In cities like on the roads, it is the pedestrian who first suffer the consequences of winter time.

Last year in November, 62 pedestrians were killed including 46 at night, so that in the spring there were 10 killed overnight

The precautions are simple: when you are walking, check several times before crossing and do it in crosswalks on the road, walk on the side facing the headlights, that is to say, left the road, preferably with light colors.
Friendly, retro-reflective vest is mandatory, and it should be for skates, scooters and skateboards are often on the road with no lighting.
For motorists, check and clean your headlights, fill your washer fluid with antifreeze and change the brushes every year. Also check if your fan is enough to defog your windscreen.

In winter the main thing is to see and be seen

As for the grip on the road, we know that, like chewing gum, the colder it is, the gum is less elastic and adherent. Because the rubber of winter tire does not harden when it is cold, its cobblestones adhere well to the snow and the water drains better when it rains. Besides winter tires are mandatory in many countries of Europe, from Scandinavia to northern Italy via Germany, Switzerland and the Balkans. Not in France, but the French motorists who travel to the countries mentioned must equip. Besides, more and more motorists in clothing made with reflective fabric are aware that winter tires are an effective solution, 72% according to a survey by Alones, the French leader in Internet sales. This is 10% more than last year. And they are 66% to consider that, in one way or another; the equipment should be made compulsory. Moreover, when asked, 35% said they will fit. But it is often wishful thinking since the sale of winter tires is between 13 and 17% of the market.

What hinders buyers? The price first, the practical constraints such as the storage of summer tires

Three arguments that deny the reality today because merchants like Euro master can store your tires after having changed, and that a site like Alone proposes to come and change tires, four on your car without you were moving. This is also the case of 123 tires.
But the emergence of tires any time will perhaps dispel prejudices. Michelin released their Cross climate, a tire that combines the benefits of winter tires, the grip, comfort and the holding of the summer tire.
And all other brands have their tires 4 seasons. Still, in mountain regions, a winter tire will be more and more effective in snow and ice. But if you equip yourself, do not expect the first snowflakes.

Reflective clothing for Trekking in rain or snow

In the presence of rain and snow likely, footwear and appropriate reflective clothing is advised.

More than 150 volunteers in eight service points, make operating the various local Assemblies of Red Cross in Navarra are launched on the occasion of the 2nd Javierada 2015.

The device will start on Friday at 17.00. The Bank and 19.00 finish passes on Saturday.

In the presence of rain and snow likely, footwear and appropriate clothing with reflective tape is advised. Last year, in the second Javierada, assistance was provided to 371 people.

The second Javierada 2015 will, like the first, with logistical and operational contribution of Red Cross. More than 150 people attend to pilgrims distributed in 7 permanent posts and 1 Mobile (mountain route Aranguren-Lumbier) and through 10 ambulances.

Operating the 2nd Javierada will begin with the opening of the first aid station on Friday, at 17:00 hours in San Isidro del Pinar, in the Bank, and will be closed in Javier, after the celebration of Mass and return operation in the day on Saturday.

Each station has health and communications technicians with necessary for cure and massage voltage tap, attention to people with diabetes, fainting, and assist in any emergency that may arise reflective materials personnel, lifeguards, massage.

The main mission of this operation is to ensure the safety of participants in terms of forecasting risks and minimize them and ensuring prompt action if any

In 2014 the first Javierada Red Cross assists 1,247 people attended. Last year, in the second Javierada, 371 attentions were paid.

Facts about the positions of attention can be followed through the web www.chinareflective.org.

Trekking tips

Each person must bring their own pace, not imposing it. During the trip, wear reflective clothing. Do not wear clothes too tight, especially in underwear and pants; jersey’s broad and long (better bring two thin one thick).

During cold and presence of rain or snow, use suitable safety vest and footwear for low temperatures, and protect the face and head covering her mouth to prevent entry of cold air into the lungs.

Eat properly during the trip with light foods easily digested and absorbed, rich in calories like nuts, oranges, chocolate or energy bars, making the biggest meal at the end of the stage and hydrated along the way.

Nuclear waste: quarantined for 100,000 years

Or we have no chemistry with the nuclear, waste management arises in the same terms, often long. The solution of the landfill made his hole.
Talk about a hole? The well-maintained road shivering through a bleak undulating dusted with snow. Chilled groves in morning freeze emerge from the fog. We leave the Haute-Marne to Meuse. Bore, its harsh hundred souls, is not far? The hole, either.
A network of tunnels that run 490 meters underground for which ANDRA (National Agency for Radioactive Waste Management) never ceases to move heaven and earth, not without success. Prospects for increased economic benefits, guarantees of scientific experiments sized surface facilities and erased the Cage project (industrial center for geological storage) is poised to establish itself permanently in this disinherited landscape.
The site is discreet, not secret. “The 30,000 m3 excavated to dig 1,200 meters of galleries are negligible compared to the volumes resulting from the operation of a mine, gelatinized Jacques Delay, chief scientist of the site in 1999 and 2010. This is the ramble of deviation of Joinville nearby. And these experimental galleries are open to visitors. For security reasons, evacuation particular, the number of people is limited to 49, including staff, and all the participants should be equip with safety vest, so it is never more than six visitors at a time. ”
No hanging of the room, but a lamp room where waiting patiently the happy faces of the lucky ones who will not stay on the floor. We put on the robe of Bore: helmet, front, reflective clothing, relocation and device APEVA belt.
The elevator snorts. After eight minutes of a descent rocked by the grinding of metal cables, the cage opens on a network of animated galleries where pedestrians are not a priority. The air is as fresh from the bottom or near the bottom of surface air: “The natural temperature of the rock is 23.2 °. The ventilation system 15 lowers in winter. ”
Sea
“The outdoor temperature in contact with the rock of nuclear high-level waste continues hydro geologist, is 90 °, which corresponds to the Temperature meter produced by a waste package generating a thermal power of 500 watts. The decay curve is known. After 90, the vapor phase is dominating. If modeling is becoming more complex, the properties of clay which does not change after 140 ° leave the margin. Its conductivity is much lower than that of granite. ”
His hand touches the grayish rock “His 35 to 45% clay, 30 to 40% limestone, 20% silica (sand), 1 to 2% pyrite and 1 to 3% of organic materials are the product of an old and deep sea 165 million years. The sedimentary rocks of all geological epochs have compacted. ”
If it has not solemn nobility of marble, argillite offers the guarantees of a perpetual concession deemed inviolable: “Nuclear waste, in 2025, will be buried 490 meters underground, in the heart of a layer between 422 and 552 m. Characterized by its fine particle size and homogeneity, this rock astonishes by its elasticity and plasticity. It is this deformation is measured. Pressure 500 m rock above our heads is 12.7 Map, of the order of that which is exerted on the hull of a submarine at 1,200 / 1,300 m deep. ”
Instinctively, his eyes alight on the supporting posts.”The sliding hangers have closed 20 cm from the opening. Most of the deformation took place in the first fortnight. This elastic deformation followed by plastic deformation. Deferred, this creep is not reversible. The oldest galleries, aged ten, are closing today at a speed of 0.1 mm per month. The galleries are pendiculaires to study the maxima and minima of the horizontal thrust of the training. ”
It takes the granules in a bucket “Mennonite is clay which swells in humidity. Natural, after saturation impermeable, resistant to pressure, that is a sealing device which ensures at the same time stabilizing and healing the rock damaged by the excavation. ”
It is at the end of the tunnel. We saw the reflective strip from our team member’s vest, It was in the air, contaminated with the certainties of our guide.

The five points accidents for cyclists in reflective clothing

So far this year, 38 have died. The figure for 2014 was exceeded by 18% cut to August.

In the first eight months of the year 38 cyclists died in traffic accidents and 799 were injured. Mutual aggressiveness and recklessness on the streets are the causes that are becoming more and more victims. Despite intense campaigns, the figures do not give up. (Graph: The most dangerous sections bike).

The map of the temperature of the accident shows that there are five sites with the highest mortality rates. Cyclists are in constant danger of death on May Avenue between Ciudad de Cali Avenue and 51st Street South.

The second point is on red alert Agoberto Mejia Avenue between streets 46 south and 42 souths. The third critical point is South 41st Street between races 89 and 91. The fourth is in the west of the city, the race 97 to 106 between 17th and 22. The fifth place is occupied by the race 91 between Calles 127C and 129.

Monica Davila, who ‘Wars’ street bike every day, is the leader of the group we pedaled. It recognizes that the situation in the city is difficult, especially for women, but warns that it will not stop mobilizing bike.

“There is mutual respect, the parts-conductors, pedestrians and cyclists, required, it generates spaces but no more, no traffic rules are met,” and warns that everyone must be in the proper place.

“We must create more education campaigns, respect, civic culture and appropriation of the city by all the inhabitants of the city,” said Davila, while urging greater security for women can move quiet bike.

Lillian Bohorquez, director of Road Safety Mobility Department, said that the biggest problems are at crossroads, intersections, and drew the attention of drivers to be careful when turning right.

“The number of users has increased. We went from 400,000 trips in 2011 to 650,000 in 2015. There is an increase in the numbers of deaths compared with last year. Difficulties have respect for the rules by drivers of motor vehicles, “said the official.

For the risks associated with these points is the fact that there are cyclists who do not use lights or safety vest because “look good”, or not use the helmet because “despelucan”.

But more serious is happening is making powers at night or ‘sprints’ among the vehicles, until the traffic lights and even pass it in red.

The authorities and organizations cyclists do a wake-up call to young people to prevent such practices.

The Mobility Department promotes, among other works, the implementation of bike paths on roads as the race 50 between 100 and 127 streets to safeguard the lives of cyclist’s stretch that has generated controversy among some residents who oppose the construction.

“The demarcated areas must be respected by drivers. We have to work in the pacification of the tracks. Drivers must learn to share and respect cyclists because they are vulnerable actors, “Bohorquez said.

Currently, in Bogota, a city that for over ten years leading the cycling theme that has become an example not only in Colombia but in Latin America, working in several campaigns.

Workshops are made with children 6 years who are taught all about the bike, with emphasis on safety guidelines.

Another exercise is role-play program where public service drivers spend on the bike and experience everything that happens to cyclists when they cast over them by car.

“There is a pilot project underway in the race 13. Portable speed reducers are installed so that drivers curb before turning,” he said Bohorquez.

The figures for accidents caused by drunk drivers are still the highest in the city. This is demonstrated by the statistics of the Department of Mobility.

In so far this year increased 9 percent, from 292 cases (January-August 2014) to 320 in the same period of 2015.

As for pedestrians without clothing with reflective tape who were killed, it was learned that in the first eight months of last year were 194 (11 of them minors), 20 victims less than the same period of 2015 (172, of which two are minor). However, the statistics remain high.

People wear reflective clothing attend the 10th reflective day

The 10th reflective day is marked with events across the country. On Egertorget in Oslo got passing early risers served dance, music and reflective tapes.

Amidst an unfolded pedestrian field of reflective material was director Jan Johansen in Road Safety. Along with dancers in reflective clothing from Bandar, police and Safe Traffic employees he distributed reflexes to people on their way to work. Several were also joined by a coffee and scones from the booth on Egertorget.

I’m happy for the markings of Reflective day around the country. It is important for us to highlight the work we are doing and tell people that reflex saves lives, says Johansen.

The director recalls that reflex reduces the risk of getting hit in the dark by around 85 percent.

Every year, almost 20 pedestrians killed in traffic, 90 are severely injured, while 470 are slightly injured. We know that many of these could escape accidents if motorists had seen them, says Johansen.

The event in Oslo is collaboration between the Road Safety and Traffic Safety Oslo (OTU), while the distributed reflectors are designed by Apparatjik. Attending Egertorget was also Moods of Norway founder Simen Staalnacke, who previously collaborated with Safe Traffic to increase reflex use among people.

We are working to integrate reflective clothes as a design element. It’s the future and making reflex to a part of everyday life, says Staalnacke.

He finds it strange that people constantly need to be reminded how important it is reflective.

Safety is priority number one for most of us. Yet people keep forgetting reflex, says Staalnacke.

Among the passers-by who were joined by a reflex, was Vibe Jesse. She had received an event invitation via Face book and knew about Reflex day in advance.

I guess I’m not so good at using reflex that I should have been. It is hard to remember and attach reflective strip on all garments. But today there are many cool reflexes that can be used as decorations for clothes. It was not like before, she says.

Vida was joined by reflexes, scones and coffee in the morning. He was pleased with it, and says that reflexes enough coming into use.

Every morning and evening I use reflective tape on the dog. Then it is completely dark along the road and important to be visible, says Kårikstad.

He is often intimidated by pedestrians who appear without reflection, when he drives a car.

The experienced my wife and I announced yesterday. When people cross the road in dark clothing, they are very difficult to see, tells Kårikstad.

People wear reflective clothing commemorate Oration Di Garza in Catania

Chronicle – Oration Di Garza has traveled for sixty years the road that linked his home on Via Nuovalucello the field cultivated in Mascalucia. “From farmer I did 14 times around the world, four more than Merck,” he said. Cyclists in safety clothes will meet to Catania retraces his steps to seven years after his death. Watch the video.

“He never looked at the road in front of him.” White hair and a dark cap – to protect themselves when the rain when the heat – head down pushing his bike for all 15 kilometers of ascent that linked the house where he lived – in Catania – with cultivated land, near Mascalucia. “And he did not want anyone’s help.” Every day, for all its past sixty years, this was the life of Oration Di Garza. It was called so the man that many people of Catania have crossed at least once along the road that connects the city to the municipalities foothills, but any of them remembers how the old bike. It failed to 84 years old, on November 4 seven years ago. The association released Promenade, in collaboration with freewheels and Stesicoro square Liberate, Sunday commemorates him with a ride.

“We will leave from Catania Cathedral at 11 – says Alsip Machete, one of the organizers -, we will pass from his home, located in via Nuovalucello, and we will reach Nicolas,” at 16:30 approximately. Participants in reflective clothing will retrace the road in single file that Di Garza daily grind “with the boots with rubber feet and – said those who knew him – a bicycle loaded with vegetables, fruit and working tools.” Put them all in a box red, tied to the roof rack. After being hit by a car – and hospitalized – she decided to wear a reflective jacket. Especially that made his figure and his effort even more evident in the eyes of commuters and residents.

Among them is Alessandro Marinara, that the old bike has dedicated a feature film. It tells the story “of an extraordinary man, out of time – explains the director – who loved cycling, nature and especially Gazelle”. The girl he wanted to marry but that – by the will of the family – was married to a rich cousin, while Di Garza had left for World War II. “He had no news of his beloved for two years. All letters he sent were torn from her father who – adds Marinara – told her that he was dead. “But instead he deserted, returned to Sicily and met again; “But she was not the girl he remembered the pain of losing him had stopped eating.” He died a few months later “and Horace became the mourning in the sense of guilt for not being able to protect her.”

From then on, “he claimed that God had sentenced him to push his bicycle as a long Way of the Cross – he continues – but at the same time, in his love for the bicycle could be free.” In the documentary Of Grace explains: “Gazelle has not been able to enjoy life, not even I want to enjoy myself.” The cycling champion Eddy Merck said once to have done ten times around the world, running with his bike. “Horace was sure I beat him – he tells marinate – said” I, as a farmer, traveled around the world fourteen times I did it. ‘” In memory of those who knew him, “will remain an example of freedom, simplicity, poetry, willpower – said the director – that there has to reflect on what our company is certified to conformity.”
