Cycle to school with your safety vest

More than 123,000 students from rural areas, previously delayed hours to reach their schools, now do it in less time with this social program that successfully promotes the Ministry of Education in 24 regions.

The student Yahaira Reategui walked an hour and a half to attend classes at school. She is 12 and lives in the town Pinto Recodo, in the province of Lamas, San Martin region in the center. His life took a 180 degree turn when he arrived in his village the Solidarity Routes program: Rural bicycles and safety vest. Since then, the travel time was reduced to 30 minutes.

Now comes earlier, it does not miss classes and have more time to study, even to take a few laps before you start your day at school. Just as she, 123.040 students have benefited from this rural program that emerged in the VRAEM with the delivery of 2,000 bicycles. Not only they had to travel distances that students were shortened, but also motivated to continue attending classes. According to 2013 statistics INEI, a dropout rate in rural high of 8.5% between ages 13 and 19 years it is estimated.

School Management

This percentage increases in women and in areas of the Forest. Precisely, Yahaira lives in this region. Despite his young age, she has clearly not want to be another number that sad statistic. She has already chosen their profession and plans to be an environmental engineer.

“Of the 26 regions of the country, the program reaches 24. Lima and Callao are not counted because it is a purely rural program,” explains Javier Palacios, head of the Directorate General of Quality Management School.

In Cajamarca add 11,554 bikes delivered, it is the region with the greatest number. They followed Huanuco, with 10,595n and Huancavelica, with 9,895. In addition to the bicycle, each student receives a helmet, reflective tape and a maintenance kit in case you need any repairs. Another interesting point of the program is that bicycles are delivered on loan to schools targeted by UGELs, but principals and parents decide what children need these vehicles.

In the Ayacucho region, Solidarias routes are powerful. It operates with resounding success in the town center Sachabamba, Ayahuanco district, province of Huanta. Victor live there and Jefferson high school students from a public school. They no longer reach their school with dusty shoes. The bicycle has become a vital tool in their lives. “I come like studying, after doing my exercises and have fun with my friends,” says Victor, while Jefferson points out, shy smile, she loves the races that make their way to school.

Responsibility

Preference is given to those living in remote areas. “We take note that the road is not high traffic area, mining intervention, lofty, nor has precipices” emphasizes Palacios. He adds that this year will only receive bicycles high school students.

The idea is that each student be responsible for one and then return it to the school at the end of the school year, thus becoming a chain of solidarity with pedals. These days, in the hall of the Ministry of Education portraits of students who have benefited from this social program are displayed.

Data

Solidarias routes come this year to 123.040 students, affecting nearly 10% of school rural population of Peru, considered by almost a million and through school.

Bicycles bought 60,000 and 50,000 private providers to microentrepreneurs.

The distances between homes and schools children may mean 1 to 3 hours away. In 2015 the number of bicycle and reflective vest delivery compared to other years quadrupled. This work will continue.

The walking and cycling track cycling in pedestrian traffic does not interfere and does not endanger.
If you are in the way, following the lines of the bike path or walking and cycling route is designated, the bike must travel a road bike or walking and bike path.
If the built-up area near the non-designated highway as the road, following the lines of cycle paths or hiking and cycling trails designated and the road bike with reflective tape a trail has been appointed – if the road signs at otherwise requires – bicycles travel on the road as well.

January ushered in the first of the Road Traffic Act amendment and does not affect only those who have a driver’s license. Now you change the batteries will still be required to wear safety vest for pedestrians in the settlements, in darkness or poor visibility on the outskirts of plying the road.
So far, the only pedestrians were required visibility vest or reflective elements öltözékükön wear when walking outside built-up areas. Otherwise, the children’s winter coats, boots already been sewn manufacturers such elements.
You do not necessarily need to wear reflective vest, if enough of walking to the arm and ankle strap is. It is advisable to wear items with the visibility jackets to wear. Of course, this only makes sense if the light reflective band is wide enough, the thread thin strips do not have too much practical use. Whoever forgets about this requirement, you can get the fine of EUR 30th
The police often maintain that the statute on the road to see us drivers. It is vital that drivers take time to notice pedestrians and, if necessary, sidestep them.
The amendment provides for a more duty for damages participants. The instances of damage is minor fender bender, in which the alleged damage does not exceed EUR 3990th In this case, no need to call the police.
So far, it often happened that a crowded parking lot when someone scratched his car with another car with reflective tape, you wrote a phone number on paper and left on the windshield. Now this will not be possible. Not quite such a “message” to leave the driver in the clink if it was not near the car. You have to wait, and if it fails to take place, should be called to the scene of the police.
The authority will treat as an accident has been such cases, and the guilty driver is not likely to escape the penalty.

“When the Red traffic lights on the street, noting the generally expected to be addressed and permitting traffic lights illuminated, then crossing a burning traffic lights are often ignored and both drivers with reflective element and the pedestrians,” said Chairman of the Board of Operation Lifesaver Estonia Tame Mets.
Regrettably, it is just a pedestrian widespread opinion that the level crossing and the traffic control devices are intended only for drivers and pedestrians are not valid. ”

Police and Border Guard police said Police Commissioner Rhino Tamaki cyclists often forget that they are not driving on pedestrian crossings over the right of way.
“Although the road users seem to know their rights and use them, it often forgets rights come responsibilities. However, the rider must give way to a pedestrian crossing on the vehicle and make sure it’s safe.

«Noticing the side, but the riders themselves can do so much, using vivid colors of clothes, darkest time of reflective vests and bike lights. Wearing a helmet could be more elementary than annoying habit of responsibility, since the helmet may save people in case of an accident or a fall of more severe injuries. It is also basic security equipment and careful rider acting as a model for the children, who often take over an adult pattern of behavior, “said Tanoak.
He added that it is definitely safe cycling culture in shaping a major role in the cycling-related infrastructure. Tamaki rider himself has said that the traffic safely and securely with ease, certainty, however, should not thereby be transferred to squander uljusele.
Cyclists will provide an understanding of the security of the traffic rules, the rules applicable knowledge and understanding of other road users’ behavior and taking them into account. It is also essential to the existence of bike paths and lanes, which would encourage the right place and properly operate, “said Tanoak.
