Reflective vests designed to protect pedestrians

Without reflective waistcoat or reflective tape either to the store or to the neighbor. This may look like this year in Slovak villages and towns. In an amendment to the Road Traffic Act, the Ministry of the Interior suggests that pedestrians walking along the road should wear protective features in poor visibility if they do not walk on the sidewalk. Today they need to have reflective fabrics on their clothes only when they are outside the village.

With this measure, the Ministry wants to prevent traffic accidents, which usually end to the detriment of pedestrians. Of the 442 accidents caused by pedestrians last year, up to 384 have occurred in the village. If they do not have them, they can be fined 60 euros.

“I consider it stupid. In my opinion, it would be sufficient if only cyclists were to have a reflective sign. I cannot imagine that I should always wear such a vest. And there is also a financial factor. In our country, there are ten-member households who live in poor social conditions. I can’t imagine buying a reflective vest for everyone in the family,” says Silvia Juhászová, a 33-year-old resident of Čamoviec in the Lučenec district.

Thirty-seven-year-old Fiľakovčan Tomáš Csík understands the effort to protect pedestrians but does not agree with fines if they do not have reflective elements. “In the evening I use to walk a few meters to the neighbors. I am careful about cars. When any goes, I step aside to keep my eyes off. I cannot agree with the draft of such a law,” said 64-year-old Ján Horňan from Trebeľovce near Lučenec.

The mayor of Liptovský Ján Juraj Filo cannot imagine how he explains the new duty to tourists. The village is visited annually by about 500 thousand. “If a foreign visitor gets such a fine for something, he won’t come anymore,” says Filo. The mayor of Štrba, Michal Sýkora, says there is no need to worry about the reflective elements. “I also try to explain to young people that it is not just a reflective vest, and these reflective elements can also look modern.”

The ministry points out that stricter rules for pedestrians have necessitated a negative trend in the number of accidents in which the most vulnerable road users die or suffer serious injuries. Last year, according to police statistics, 15 people were killed in roads, two of them children. “Pedestrians caused a total of 442 traffic accidents last year, of which 384 were in the village,” police spokeswoman Denisa Balogh said.

On the side of stricter regulations is also favored traffic analyst Jozef Drahovský, according to which drivers do not have many possibilities to deal with unmarked pedestrians or cyclists. “They only have to anticipate and think that there may be someone on the road,” he says, not even street lighting helps in dense fogs.

Marián Čabák from the School of Safe Driving says that people are often reluctant to invest even a few euros in reflective things unless they are explicitly ordered to do so. The price for a reflective vest ranges from three euros upwards. Similarly, there are other elements, as the law permits them. They can also be reflective belts on the sleeve, smileys on school bags or various other iron-on transfers.

If the proposed amendment passed, the mandatory labeling in the municipality would become the same offense as the non-marking of a pedestrian outside the municipality today. This is subject to a fine of up to EUR 60.

Slovakia is not the only country trying to protect pedestrians with protective features. Czech transport police chief Tomáš Lerch said last week that he wanted to create a discussion on mandatory reflective elements for all who would go on the road at night. He also wants to find a compromise whether it should be in the village, outside or everywhere.

Police actions to prevent accidents involving pedestrians

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.

Police are checking in the schoolyard

No light, no bell, loud music in the ears – Before the Dahlewitzer Herbert Tschäpe high school police checked on Tuesday the bicycles of the students. Many of the wheels were not safe.

 

Tuesday began with a – not always pleasant – surprise for the students of the Herbert Tschäpe secondary school. When they entered the school grounds, the police were already waiting, especially for the cyclists. The Revierpolizisten Manfred Ewert and Uwe Depner checked whether lights, reflectors, and bell are available and work well.

 

Support was provided by the security community Blankenfelde-Mahlow and the prevention team of the police department West. Chief Inspector Ute Streckert and High Commissioner Axel Schugardt distributed reflectors, safety vests, reflective bags made of reflective fabrics, and informational materials to show what a safe bike is all about.

 

Police call out “days of visibility”

Throughout Brandenburg, the police have called the “days of visibility”. Until Thursday, especially cyclists are informed about the risks of the dark season. “People with dark clothes only recognize a car driver from a distance of around 25 meters,” explains Axel Schugardt. With light clothes, it is at least 40 meters. Anyone wearing reflective clothing or light can be seen 140 meters away.

 

Principal Michaela Töpelmann and her fellow teachers Lutz Schwabe and Matthias Stiller are at the school gate. “You know your Pappenheimer,” says Michaela Töpelmann. Most of the 267 students come by bike. Many wear headphones in their ears that play so loud music that they do not notice their surroundings. Others hang their cycling helmet over the handlebar instead of turning it over.

 

30 of the 82 bicycles have defects

The balance of the day: Of 82 controlled bicycles have 30 shortcomings. In most cases, the lighting is broken or not available at all, others do not have the prescribed reflectors front, rear, on the pedals and spokes, yet others lack the bell. A bike was particularly negative. “Apart from brakes, it did not have any safety-relevant parts,” says Axel Schugardt. Revierpolizist Manfred Ewert noted all the shortcomings on lists, which the students should work off.

 

That parents leave their children with such companions on the street, annoys Michaela Töpelmann. “Everything that serves security is good”. The Herbert Tschäpe high school is located directly on the busy L 40th “We have had some accidents here,” says the headmistress. Hot situations between motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians are not uncommon. Whether the action brings something permanent to the police? Michaela Töpelmann hopes.

 

Girls were more insightful

Some students, especially girls, found the action good, the boys were less insightful. Some dropped their bikes on the way. Olaf Lehnhardt, who is responsible for prevention in the Teltow-Fläming Police Inspectorate, wants to take some more breasts in the coming weeks. “I’ll do retraining,” he says. Silvia Fisch, chairman of the security community, is even more rigorous. “My son is not allowed to cycle to school until the light works. Until then he will run. ”

 

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.

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.

 

In addition some drivers always use the flash light at night. As a result, the driver can only see the pedestrian within 3 meters and cause blindness for 3 seconds. 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.

 

At the same time, reflective fabric of the reflective safety umbrella adopts our advanced reflective materials and technology. The quality inspection meets the EN471-2 standard, which is the same standard as the dedicated uniform. Environmental protection is pollution-free, and the reflective effect and durability are of high quality.

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.

Wear reflective vest for college students

The students of the College Val Croup participated in the operation “reflective vests for college students for which the contribution of the Departmental Committee of ecotourism was required.

The lack of visibility of cyclists on the roads , is a real concern for promoters of cycling as a means of circulation or as a hobby. It was decided to work on this point. Young CDEJ members were associated with the operation to distribute retro-reflective vests in the 42 public and private colleges of the Tarn during a road safety campaign to promote the wearing of the clothes with reflective fabrics by young cyclists.

Alien Redo Departmental Ad visor was at the Collage Val Croup in the presence of Pascal Citigroup, principal, Dicer Huck CPE, and the young departmental adviser, to distribute to the students the yellow vests with a reflector tape that will make them visible on the road.

Hip to reduce the burden on the tension of the reflective material with support software introduction

NIPPO is 29 days, in pavement construction and asphalt materials for the plant, announced the introduction of the support software that can reduce the burden of the hip due to the work. Agriculture and logistics, to the lumbar support wear of Morita Holdings with a proven track record in the nursing care field “rakunie (Rakunie)”, adopted a new model fitted with a cover-type reflective material the company has proposed. Reduce the fatigue accumulation in such work and transport at room temperature when material in the kneeling position to use the dragonfly and the scoop. Safety vest marked with a reflective material to wear in outdoor work also becomes unnecessary.

The company as one of the working environment improvement measures starts the test introduction of fatigue mitigation suit in 2002. Paver, product manufacturing, such as to about 50 people, including a woman in charge of the testing operations asked to wear a plurality of types of suits such as a motor-driven or compressed air type, it was evaluated in the assist force and a feeling of wear.

Paving work, in addition to often work in the kneeling position, crouching, such as marking work and operation of the machine, one is working posture is different depending on the contents in the work you do in one day. For this reason, it was decided to adopt the wearing feeling and desorption of labor is less Rakunie.

It was released Rakunie to 12 years, using the tension of the previous of stretch elastic reflective fabrics using the back (rubber) to support the lumbar region. In the experiment to lift the luggage from knee to waist height, make sure that the burden of the erector spinae muscles and thigh (roughly) biceps to support the stooped posture can be reduced an average of 17%.Any color is black. Selling price is 23,000 yen; there are about 12,000 pieces sales of so far.

The company has been required to wear a safety vest equipped with a reflective material in the outdoor work, there were numerous opinion that “when used in conjunction with support software and safety vest in the summer of field sultry”.

For this reason, we proposed a reflective material of the cover expression that can be retrofitted in the fastener to Morita Holdings. Increasing the visibility of the night worker, also improved the safety of the work.

Reputation of the new model is the very best, the person who was wearing in a total material factory is referred to as “the fatigue accumulation is small; it has become a necessity not do without.” Aida Engineering Division General Engineering Department production machinery center machine development manager has been with the “I want to continue to provide appropriate to a person in need.”
