A prerequisite is the presence of a plurality of pockets and a special pocket for sticks, reflective elements. On the legs and chest should be to strengthen the elements that can soften the blow of a collision with sharp objects and surfaces. Specific requirements – for shoes, summer and winter collections of great attention is paid to strengthening in the area of the fingers.

Reflective elements to protect the pedestrians

4 people were killed and seven were injured – voiced Statistics Alexander, deputy. Head of Traffic Police Ministry of Internal Affairs on sustainable development. – In this case, none of the pedestrians on the clothing was not reflective elements.

The main causes of such accidents – Pedestrians do not use retro-reflective elements cross the road outside the pedestrian crossings. In addition, the assaults occur in the poorly lit “Zebra”.

As drivers see pedestrians on the unlit passage?

In September, dark early, and some lights near the “Zebra” or not at all, or they are not working. We conducted an experiment and found out as drivers with a distance (25 m) see pedestrians in the clothes of different colors. Camera settings are maximally close to what the human eye sees. To avoid distortion when photographing we did not use the approach.

  1. Reflective clothing

On the road is visible only black silhouette, which merges with the darkness. When the car drove up, pedestrians had to bounce back to the side of the road to avoid an accident. so the reflective clothing is very important.

  1. Light jacket

Inspector’s traffic police are advised, in the extreme case, to wear something white, to become more visible. In fact – it does not help much. One of the drivers of nearly knocked pedestrian. He stopped at the last moment.

  1. Pedestrian in a dark jacket and white hat

Apparently, because the cap was white crystal and jacket – more sand.

  1. Reflective Bracelet

It can be seen from far away, but even better if these bracelets will be two – on both hands.

  1. Reflective Keychain

So he will not run. It shows us less effective than the bracelet.

  1. Blinking Flashlight

It can be attached to the jacket, bag or cap unlike other tools just like reflective tape; drivers reacted to him as soon as pedestrians approaching the road.

Reflective clothing to guard your walking

Through the windows in the Lodz region snowing, it gets dark earlier. The police like too should wear reflective clothing. Walking has invisible threat.

Approaching the autumn and winter period, in Lodz Province in the morning it snows. Increasingly, it gets dark earlier and more frequent adverse road conditions. In Lodz and the surrounding area every year there are several hundred accidents involving pedestrians.

Their cause is often inadequate visibility of pedestrians – says mobile. Joanna Kącka, a spokeswoman for the Regional Police Headquarters in Łódź. – It is often so that pedestrians walk the road shoulders in a dark suit and no reflective elements. The problem is that such proceedings are putting their, and only their safety.

For this, it reminds com. Kick, wearing reflective elements is mandatory. With their lack of a pedestrian who moves after dusk outside such areas, may pay a fine in the amount of 20 to even 500 gold says a spokeswoman for Lodz police.

The dark jackets and coats for the winter bought a Polish standard. Grays, blacks and browns placed to rain and snow, because, of course, do not require such frequent washing. Except that pedestrians in these costumes are risking more than you wearing bright colors.

After dark, in bad weather, pedestrian dressed in dark clothing is seen by the driver car from a distance of about 20 meters. If wearing bright clothes, it can be seen from a distance of 50 meters – says mobile. Kick. If we assume that the minimum stopping a car traveling at 50 km / h is about 30 meters and at a speed of 100 km / h – 80 meters, it may be that an accident cannot be avoided!

And calls – “reflectors are necessary, they can save lives.”

Walking with reflective elements will be the driver noticed from a distance greater than 150 meters. Therefore, the reaction time will be much longer and the risk of accidents smaller.

How to “shine” effectively?

It is not enough to have a glare; you still need to know how to use them, to make them most effective.

We must remember that glare is best to assume as low as possible says mobile. Kick. – The headlights do not illuminate the entire body of pedestrian, usually are set at a height of about 25 centimeters. Therefore, the lower will be set up reflectors, the faster it will fall on them headlamp of the vehicle. As a result, the operator will have more time to react – says a spokeswoman.

Therefore, in the first place reflectors should be submitted to the lower parts of clothing, such as boots, trousers or pants cuffs.

It should also be recalled that it is not enough to set up glare solely on the child’s reflective backpack, because they are only visible to those following behind him, and not for drivers from both directions – like phones.

Police appeal not to underestimate the obligation of wearing reflectors, because pedestrians are victims every fifth road accident in Poland. The worse the weather conditions, including a higher risk.

Shopping bags with reflective tape

See and be seen. The basic rule for pedestrians is be seen on the road.

Nothing with reflectors although I have not yet, but the bag will wear it when I go somewhere in the evening, “she promised senior Ditka Fuchsia.”Personally, I do not go in the evening too, but perhaps grandson and the other children you have reflective elements – such as the legs,” recalled the previous security event hall Josef Role.

Reflective elements are mandatory maybe soon. At night or early in the morning, most of the pedestrians died on Czech roads. Due to the unfortunate statistics aspire police, traffic experts and the Ministry of Transport of the compulsory wearing of reflective elements. Getting should have prepared an amendment to the Road Traffic Act. Pedestrians would have to wear a reflective element or apparel when they will move in poor visibility along the road where there is off street lighting.
