Traffic safety week started

Seeing and being seen is one of the most important requirements for safe driving. The traffic safety week from 15 to 21 October is under the motto “Visibility is safety”.

 

Especially in the dark season, it is essential for all road users alike to ensure good visibility in order to avoid accidents. In the past five years, a total of 346 pedestrians and 525 cyclists on the streets of Vorarlberg have been killed in the dark and poor visibility in traffic, including 87 children under the age of 15.

 

This was taken as an opportunity to put visibility at the center of this year. The focus is on targeted information on the affected road users.

 

Awareness raising

In addition to the distribution of folders and reflectors to pedestrians, the KFV will conduct reconnaissance and radar checks in all districts with police and INTEGRA. If necessary, small repairs to the wheel lighting are made on site. Motorists are informed about the consequences of poorly adjusted headlights. “Such awareness-raising priority actions are an ideal complement to existing measures,” provincial governor Karlheinz is convinced.

 

For example, the state has been promoting awareness of the topic of visibility in the Vorarlberg schools for many years with the support of traffic education partners. “In addition, Vorarlberg is the only federal state in Austria where all school beginners and kindergartens aged 3 to 5 have received a reflective safety vest at the start of school,” adds Raiser.

 

Visibility is safety

Well-visible, light-colored clothing, and reflective materials are useful in the foggy, dark time on the road. “Dark-clad people are visible at night only from 25 to 30 meters away for a motor vehicle handlebars. With reflective clothing, however, a pedestrian can be seen from a distance of 130 to 160 meters. This makes it easier for drivers to react in good time. “explains Martin of the Road Safety Board. In everyday life, however, only a few people wear reflective accessories and clothing, they are considered especially by younger road users as unfashionable and impractical.

 

Courage for visibility

The Provincial School Board for Vorarlberg and the KFV has therefore called on the Vorarlberg high school students in a joint action to design reflective clothing and accessories according to their own taste. The winning projects, which were chosen by a jury, are then turned into reality by the designer Daniela.

 

“We have received numerous creative and innovative submissions and hope that the implementation of the winning designs will lead to a sustainable increase in the wearing rate of reflective clothing with the reflective fabric and accessories and thus more road safety,” says compulsory school inspector Ivo Walser, MA pleased.

 

That’s how security comes to light

Even car drivers must be aware that poorly adjusted or defective headlights pose a significant security risk. Headlights that are set too low to illuminate too little of the road, which remains a big “black hole”.

 

If the headlights are set too high, oncoming traffic and pedestrians are dazzled and in the case of fog, this leads to dangerous self-glare. The driving speed may only be selected so that it can be stopped at any time in the existing visual range. The adjustment of the vehicle lighting must be done regularly: Is the light correct – the view is correct.

 

Illumination of protection routes

On the part of the Province of Vorarlberg as the street owner of the approximately 800km provincial roads, intensive investment is also being made in street lighting – around 15,000 light along the provincial roads alone – and in particular by protective paths (crosswalks).

 

In the course of the modernization of the street lighting, great emphasis is placed on known hazardous areas such. Protective paths and cyclists crossing different light colors use. Due to the different light color, these luminous areas set themselves apart from the general street lighting and thus increase the attention of the road users in these areas.

The police are appealing to wear reflective vests

The safety of pedestrians on the road, especially outside built-up areas, depends on their good visibility.

 

For many years, policemen have reminded us of the importance of the role of reflective materials in increasing the visibility of pedestrians and cyclists. Good visibility is one of the most important safety factors in road traffic.

 

The principle of “seeing and being seen” should lead us to an adult pedestrian, but we should also talk about it to our children. The police during all safety meetings remind us how important it is to wear reflective vests. Currently, many clothing, schoolbags, backpacks and shoes for children already have pre-stitched reflective fabrics sewn in.

 

Reminder:

  1. During poor visibility, when the pedestrian is wearing gray-black clothes and does not have reflective elements on the outer garment, the driver notices it with a long delay.

 

  1. Remember that in the dark the pedestrian can see the headlights of the car even from a distance of a few kilometers, but the driver will notice it only when he notices the silhouette of a man within the range of the car’s lights.

 

  1. In the dark, without reflective elements, we are visible in the passing light at a distance of only 20-30 meters. If the driver is driving at 90km / h, he will travel to 25 meters of road in 1 second and there is no chance of any reaction when he notices a pedestrian in his path.

 

  1. However, if the pedestrian is equipped with a reflective element reflecting the light of the car, the driver will notice it already from a distance of 130 -150 meters, which are about 5-10 times faster! This can save a living life.

 

  1. The widespread use of reflective elements in various forms – hangers, bands, vests, bright umbrellas etc. – will make the pedestrian’s chance of avoiding the setback in poor visibility conditions even if it makes a mistake, eg it will move the wrong side of the road .

 

  1. Correctly worn reflectors should be placed in such a place that they are in the field of car light and are noticeable for drivers approaching from both directions (from the back and the front).

 

Warning:

Traffic law stipulates that a person moving along the road, after dusk, outside the built-up area, is obliged to use reflective vests in a manner visible to other road users.

 

You do not need to convince anyone to write it down, but you should wear “reflections”, even if the regulations do not require it, in other words, preferably during the whole autumn, winter and early spring, both during the day and after dark. Not only outside the built-up area, but everywhere we move. This custom should apply to all pedestrians regardless of age and applicable law.

Fatal accident at DW-835

Policemen explain the circumstances of the road accident that occurred on DW-835. Preliminary findings show that the 29-year-old driver of the Toyota vehicle in undeveloped and unlit land struck a woman who did not have reflective vests. 31-year-old resident of the commune suffered death as a result of the incident. Once again, we remind you REMEMBER THE REFLECTIONS.

 

The accident happened yesterday evening at around 20:40 in the town at DW-835. Preliminary findings show that 29-year-old driver of the Toyota brand rode from the direction of Bagel towards Lublin. In an undeveloped and unlit area, the right front of the vehicle was hit by a pedestrian, which did not have reflective materials. As follows from the preliminary findings of the police officers, the woman ran across the road in a place not designated as a pedestrian crossing, from the left side to the right in the direction of the vehicle’s movement. As a result of the event, the 31-year-old resident of the commune suffered death. The driver of the car, tested by the uniformed for alcohol content in the body – sober.

 

Policemen worked on the site under the supervision of the prosecutor. Due to the incident, for almost 4 hours DW-835 was blocked, and the traffic took place on detours organized by the police. Now officers explain all the circumstances of this accident.

 

Once again, we remind you REMEMBER THE REFLECTIONS. Every pedestrian, which moves at dusk along the way outside the built-up area, must have a reflector placed in a visible way for the drivers. Remember, a pedestrian dressed in a dark outfit is seen by the driver of the vehicle at a distance of about 40 meters. However, a walking person wearing reflective elements becomes visible even from a distance of 150 meters. Reflective elements may include attachments for clothing, headbands, vests and leashes. It is important to place them: the reflective fabrics are recommended to be placed at the level of knees, hands, around the center of the chest and back – then we will be sure that they are clearly visible to other road users. We also appeal to wear reflections in built-up areas.

Motorcyclists roar their engines against the use of reflective vests

Presidents and representatives of the 63 groups of motorcyclists in León, joined on board different types of mopeds to express with the roar of their engines, the disagreement against the use of vests with reflective tapes, greater safety and road awareness among all.

 

The new traffic regulation raises the mandatory use of reflective vest with reflective tapes for motorcyclists, however, motorists do not agree with this rule, since that takes away their identity and for them it is an imposition, especially on chopper motorcyclists. They regularly wear leather jackets that distinguish them with their different patterns.

 

The meeting was convened at 9:00 a.m. in the parking lot of Plaza Mayor, there all kinds of motorcycles arrived, from choppers, sports and cruises and dual purpose “to the regulations and all that vehicle that have an engine and comes on two wheels “commented a motorcyclist.

 

“It is carried out because we do not agree with the new traffic regulations, where it seems that motorcyclists want to impose a fluorescent vest,” explained the motorcyclist Chopper Anaya to El Sol de León.

 

The Municipal Traffic Direction says that the use of reflective vest is only considered as a recommendation and that the document is not updated. The City Council of Leon is in the preparation of the new regulation that is about to be approved, and studies the main causes of accidents, according to the aforementioned dependency.

 

Gonzalo said that more than the use of vests, it requires “more road education and goes for everyone, we do not exempt ourselves, we carry some guilt, but education is important on both sides, both people who go on four wheels , like those of us in two, “said the motorcyclist with a high cylinder moped.

 

The drivers questioned the use of the waistcoat with the reflective fabric, because If you do not see it, with the factory signs that the motorcycle is already carrying, it is a skull on which the stop increases the intensity and the directional, in reality what you should There is more awareness.

 

Motorists asked for greater security both in the city and on the highways, as some complained of being assaulted when going out on the roads “instead of putting on a vest we want security for us,” Anaya said.

Reflective umbrella

In recent years, more and more reflective materials have been used in our lives, such as reflective vests, reflective raincoats, ring-sleeves, and fire suits. These are more common in our lives, and reflective umbrellas are less concerned. .

 

Reflective umbrellas are mainly made of printed reflective fabrics. In recent days, it was the rainy season in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Precipitation was abundant, and some areas even experienced floods and floods. In this rainy season, consumers’ demand for purchasing umbrellas has also greatly increased. Reflective umbrellas produced by us, while satisfying users’ requirements for sun protection and rain protection, also have a reflective effect and can be your choice.

The vision in the rain is even more blurred. This kind of situation is very dangerous! Supporting reflective umbrellas, on dark rainy nights, can warn drivers and prevent pedestrians from hurting. It also protects our own safety.

Police officers appeal for safe returns from holidays

Holidays are slowly coming to an end. All travelers have the same goal – a safe return from holidays. Let’s be careful! May increase vigilance and common sense accompany us on our way back from summer rest. Excessive rush, bravado, fatigue, absentmindedness, routine are just some of the factors conducive to unhappy accidents.

 

Police officers appeal for increased caution to all road users!

 

Remember the principle of limited trust in relation to other road users. Try to anticipate situations that may find you on the road. Stay alert. Do not let yourself be surprised by routine. Adjust the driving speed to road conditions. Remember the elementary rules of traffic: adherence to road signs and signals, fastening seat belts, carrying children in car seats, driving with lights on, preventing excessive fatigue at the wheel.

 

If you are riding a bicycle, remember: the bike must be properly equipped – a red light at the back and a pulsing white light in the front, an efficient brake and a bell. You should also have a helmet and reflective elements such as a reflective vest or headband which is made of the reflective fabric. This significantly increases your safety when riding a two-wheeled vehicle.

 

If you are walking, especially after dusk, be sure to wear a reflective vest or other reflective clothing. You become more visible and increase your safety! Remember that when there is no sidewalk and you use the roadside or roadway you have to move on the left side of the road, so that the arriving vehicles are in front of you.

Reflective vests cleaning tips

Nowadays, the use of reflective safety vests in life is more and more common, and the consumption of reflective clothing is also increasing. How to use correctly and wash it to prolong its service life is everybody’s concern. Now let’s talk about the items that should be paid attention to during the cleaning process.

Reflective clothing was made of reflective fabric which was used in a use of special technics in its’ production process. So we cannot rub and wring while cleaning the reflective vests, because it can damage the reflective fabric, thus affecting the normal use of the reflective vests.

Second, it cannot soak in water that over 30 degrees, with too high temperature water immersion will damage the reflective effect of clothes, while the reflective vests cannot be placed in the washing machine.

Finally, when drying, it cannot be placed under the sun exposure, sun exposure will weaken the effect of the reflection of clothes. If there is a little mud stain or stain on the safety vests, just wipe it with a soft fabric. When you really need to wash, you must choose to use neutral detergent to wash, and then placed in the shade to dry.

Therefore, in order to make the life of reflective vests longer, we must clean clothes according to the correct way.

Do you have reflective elements?

Pedestrian is the least protected participant of road traffic and they are often the victim of tragic road accidents.

When bad conditions prevail on the road, and the pedestrian is not equipped with reflective vests and is wearing dark clothes, the driver notices him only when he is within reach of his light. It is very often too late and even the immediate reaction of the driver will not save his life.

Pedestrian crossings usually occur in the evening hours, from September to December, when the visibility of a person moving along the road is significantly reduced.

After dark, a driver driving with low beam light on can see a pedestrian from a distance of 20-30 meters from the car bonnet. However, if it travels at a speed exceeding 80-90 km / h, most often there is no chance of avoiding the deduction, because it moves at a speed of about 25 meters per second – explains press spokesman of the police. – When the pedestrian is equipped with any reflective material that reflects the light of the car, the driver will see it from a distance of 130-150 meters, which are about 5 times faster! The conclusion is obvious: such  small reflective fabric sewn-on our clothes, which can save our lives or the lives of our loved ones.

Reflective vests are required to be worn by all, regardless of age, who move around outside the built-up area after dark. The obligation to wear a reflective vest is exempt pedestrians moving on the road intended only for pedestrians or on the sidewalk, as well as in the area of residence, where pedestrian takes precedence over the vehicle.

Police officers from the Municipal Police Station, constantly visits schools and kindergartens, giving the youngest children reflective vests and realizing how important it is to wear them for life and health. In addition to passing the vests, the police teach the youngest rules of safe movement on the road, especially after dark – he adds.

You are visible. You are safe

This is another edition of the “You are visible. You are safe” campaign, organized by the Provincial Road Traffic Center in Radom and the Marshal’s Office. Over 120 students of grades I-VII received reflective vests. They had the opportunity to practice their skills on a bicycle obstacle course. They also familiarized themselves with the rules of first aid and safety in road traffic.

Today, children got sets with four reflective elements. These are two reflective tapes that can be put on your arm, leg and two pendants, which you can attach to your backpack or keys – said Tomasz from the Marshal’s Office.

In addition to education, safety and health are in the first place. This campaign should be promoted by all schools to make young people aware that safety is the most important thing for their lives – said Tomasz, director of the ZSO.

Every action that will save human life is the most important one. If any visible and visible reflection allows the car not to enter only one person, then it is already a success – said the councilor of Amazonia regional council Lessen.

The Grope police and fire brigade were also involved in the reflective action.

Reflectors are very important, especially important among the youngest ones. There are no sidewalks in this area, which also significantly affects safety. In addition, now it is not clear enough yet, when children go to school, so they will be able to use these reflections for their safety as much as possible, a press officer of the Pavia Police Headquarters.

Director is used to several “reflective” trips a week, but he also sees the effects. The campaign is bearing fruit. – It’s getting better. First of all, it is caused not so much by fashion, but the fact that producers and clothing and those reflections go with the times. It is no longer like one type of hangers, one color. Various reflective fabrics are used in bangles, vests, though even toys, mascots, bags and it is more and more visible on the streets. This is also visible among people who actively play sport. We start to look after our own safety – said Radius.
