Reflective vest to give police a cool summer

In the past few days, the temperature in Hangzhou has been rising. The public security traffic police stood against the high temperatures and continued to adhere to front-line posts to maintain traffic order. The professionalism of the police has moved many citizens.

On the morning of June 7th, a love high-tech enterprise in Hangzhou held a condolence event for the new-technology products of the public security policemen sent by the front-line policemen in the Xincheng brigade of the Traffic Police Detachment of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau, sending 30 new R&D productions for the brigade’s public security traffic police. The police used sunstroke- reflective cool vest to express their love and support for police officers on duty. They called on the whole society to pay attention to this respectable and lovely person. I hope that all citizens will start from me, start from now on, obey disciplines and observe disciplines, and travel in a civilized manner. Unimpeded traffic adds to your strength.

The heatstroke cooling vest, also known as the cooling vest, is used to provide a comfortable cooling and protection for people who need to work in high temperature environments. There are several new-technology cooling modules on the inside of the vests and also have reflective tapes on vests. The body heat is taken away by the evaporation of the water by immersion, in the high temperature environment. The use of cooling can be kept cool for about four hours each time, to achieve the purpose of preventing heatstroke and cooling. It is particularly suitable for use by traffic policemen in countries where the climate is hotter.

At the same time, this policy sunstroke-reflective cooling vest also has the function and function of an ordinary reflective vest. The reflective materials on vests will play safety and warning role at night or in special weather, and it will have a very good protective effect on front-line traffic policemen.

Near schools, well-protected pedestrian crosswalks

On the pedestrian crossing in front of the Buisson school, between the town hall and the train station, a group of ten women dressed in an orange reflective vest back and forth between the two sidewalks. They are the ones who make the children go through eight public schools in Hazebrouck, from September to June. To avoid a drama whose parents would not recover, the town puts the big means to train and equip them. “We will give them a fluorescent vest with reflective tape in the summer and a jacket that is also fluorescent and has reflective materials on for the winter. But they will also have a light stick and an illuminated STOP sign in each hand. “explains Frederic, head of prevention at the town hall.

Anticipate the behavior of motorists

The goal, on this warm morning in July, is to anticipate the approach of vehicles as much as possible, while keeping an eye on someone who wants to cross. “It’s not so easy and therefore very important,” says Halloran, who is not yet at his first attempt and protects the pedestrian crossings of schools La Fontaine and Jules-Ferry.

At the same time, the ASVPs, also present, will be deployed to schools to prevent any inconvenient parking and to optimize security around the schools.

How to cross the road properly

Police officers, together with BESIP, went to pedestrian crossings near schools. As part of the Zebra campaign, they do not look at you alerting you about safe road traffic behavior. This nationwide event also took place in front of the Street School.

The preventive Zebra project does not look at you as a safe behavior in road traffic since 2007. It takes place twice a year, at the beginning of the school year and in April.

“Police at pre-established crossings, especially in the vicinity of schools, introduce children to the basic principles of safe behavior that they should observe when passing the road, and it is useful to wear clothing which is sewn-on reflective materials.” said Drain.

The event takes place in various places in the Moravian-Silesian Region. For example, in Navy Jilin, Police, together with BESIP, surprised children at elementary school at Comenius Street.

“I look to the left, then to the right, to the left for the last time, and then you can go when nothing is possible,” said the passage of the journey to the first man. “I’ll see if there is a car when I wait until it stops,” added the sixth grade student.

“Unfortunately, I have to say that the kids, when they go to school early in the morning, rely on protecting the crowd. It is a group, they are talking and the basic criteria they should observe, look at, make eye contact, so it lags in that group, “said Pave Rakes, coordinator of BESIP for the MS Region.

According to police officers, everyone should remember one important rule. It is also important to wear a reflective vest when go out at night.

“Not only children but all pedestrians should remember that they do not have absolute pedestrian crossings,” police spokesperson added.

Other rules of safe pedestrian crossing also include the fact that we should cross the road perpendicularly, to the right of the crossing and not to use it unnecessarily.

“We strive to influence not only the thinking of children but of all road users,” concluded the BESIP coordinator.

As a gift for the right knowledge of crossing the pedestrian crossing and a reminder of security rules, children received small gifts from the Police and BESIP – puzzles, coloring books and reflective tapes.

Prepare your car for skiing

Spring breaks are here to see. Are you going to ski by car? Then check his condition and equipment before riding. We advise how to avoid accidents and fines.

Have the car checked before servicing. You can easily check your tire pressure or sample depth yourself, other things no longer. Only properly adjusted chassis (geometry, brakes, dampers) will ensure optimum winter jacket characteristics, vehicle safety and driving comfort.

Check the coolant and brake fluid and the winter mix in the washers before long journeys. And take a spare with you. In Germany, for example, you can get a fine of up to 40 Euros and one point for a non-functional washer.

Practically in all mountain areas, a marker chain may appear. And behind it is mandatory. Be careful especially in Austria. Only chains are approved by ÖNORM V5117 or V5119 are counted.

Fasten the skis to the roof rack. Not only for your own safety. For example, in Austria, a fine of up to 500 Euros is threatened with a poorly fixed load.

You must have winter tires if there is a continuous layer of snow or ice on the road. Regardless of the date. The tread depth is just 3mm. The wagon’s equipment must be a warning triangle, a first aid kit and a reflective vest, which you must always use when leaving the village outside the village. The GPS device may not be located in the center of the windscreen. Ten-day electronic highway toll costs 10 Euros and you can buy it via the internet.

Winter tires must be in the period from November 1 to April 15 and under unfavorable conditions outside this period. The minimum tread depth is 4mm. You need at least a warning triangle, a first aid kit and a reflective vest with reflective tapes for all passengers, which you must always use when driving out of the village. The ten-day highway stamp costs 9 Euros, some of them paying additional tolls.

In the mountain regions of Lombardy, Trenton, Valle d’Aosta and Piedmont, you must have winter tires from 15 November to 15 April regardless of the weather. You must have a warning triangle and safety clothing for all passengers. On toll freeways, tolls are about 6 Euros for 100km.

Recommendations for cyclists and motorcyclists

County Police Inspectorate supports the movement in the open air and wishes the cyclists and motorcyclists pleasant, safe travel!

Bicycle Safety Recommendations:

Before changing the direction of travel, especially to the left or to the overrun, make sure that there is no vehicle approaching – front and rear!

Move as close as possible to the right edge of the road, and when you move in a group, only one column in the column!

Do not ride a bicycle under the influence of alcoholic beverages!

It is advisable to wear an approved helmet and a reflective vest!

To run on the public road, the bicycle must be properly equipped (effective braking device, an audible warning device, white or yellow light in front, red backlight and at least one reflective material of the same color)!

When changing direction, even if you have to cross priority, make sure the other road users understand your intention!

Safety recommendations for motorcyclists:

Keep eye contact – does not assume that others see you. Always try to have visual contact with the drivers that might be intersecting your trajectory.

Anticipate the intentions of your road mates – even when drivers, cyclists and pedestrians see you are approaching, they often mistakenly appreciate the distance or speed. Do not rely solely on their good reaction.

Increase attention to turns and intersections – the most common type of motorcycle crash is generated by drivers who do not ensure that left turns are turned or that the lane changes.

Be prepared for hazardous road conditions – wet road, liquid leakage, sand, gravel, tramway, pits and other road surface danger that can severely affect your adhesion by causing accidents.

Use an approved helmet – which meets current safety standards. Avoid buying a used helmet, you may have suffered an accident, and repair may hide structural flaws.

Wear safety clothing for motorcyclists – only this can provide good protection during an accident and protects you from the weather. Modular “layered” equipment is recommended so you can adapt it to the changing weather conditions.

Be visible – wear bright, reflective clothing. Add additional reflective material or wear a reflective vest. Always keep the headlamp lit and run to the position where drivers can easily see you in the rear view mirror (2/3 of the belt width). Avoid dead angles of other vehicles.

Bike safety awareness

Forty-five students of CM2 classes Angelique Le Penne and Yen de la Jarring, teachers at Cole Sainte-Anne, followed Friday, a training in road safety provided by Marlene Kerbela and Valerie Tavern Police Brice municipality in association with Bernard Juan of the association Prevention router and a parent of a student.

This training is intended for students in grades one to six.

The students first received theoretical information on signs, on the cyclist’s safety equipment (reflective vest and mandatory helmet which stick on reflective materials) and an introduction to the Highway Code.

A track with various obstacles, installed in the yard, allowed the children to put into practice what they had learned and to do some exercises on balance and braking, to feel confident and to control their bike well.

At the end of the afternoon, Jean-Hubert Epsilon issued a Road Safety training certificate encouraging them to be vigilant because they were vulnerable to cycle and to respect the rules. Reflective tape rewarded all students for their good work.

how to prepare for your trip?

Equipment: reflective clothing and shoes suitable for hiking

To dress in “onion”, with clothes that can be removed and put back easily is very important. It is hot in the climbs. It is necessary to cover up when taking a break and often remove a layer again during the descent.

Whenever possible, avoid sweating too much, as moisture in clothing may promote the risk of hypothermia. Plan a spare dry t-shirt if needed.

If you plan to go out for more than half an hour on snowshoes, comfortable shoes that insulate cold and moisture are essential. Furry boots or hiking boots will be the most suitable.

Be sure to come out equipped with a first aid kit, a reflective vest that will allow you to see more easily on the snow in case of emergency intervention.

It is also recommended to be equipped with a DVA (avalanche victim detector), a transceiver device that must be worn under the outer layer of clothing. It is essential to check that your DVA works well before any release and to know how to use it.

Also has at least a passive reflector on you. It is an unbreakable mini transponder, sometimes integrated with ski equipment or snowshoes that works continuously and require no prior training. You will find them in sports shops.

Also, bring a snow shovel and a probe that will free you from an avalanche or allow you to clear someone caught in the snow. Gloves, hat, reflective jacket, scarf. Be aware that time can change quickly, pack a backpack with clothes to cover you when needed.

After only fifteen to twenty minutes of burial under the snow, the chances of survival are considerably reduced. Be careful!

Helmet, lights and vest, mandatory for cyclists

Yesterday, the text of the District Decree that obliges cyclists and users of other non-motorized vehicles of Barranquilla to use a helmet permanently, and light and a reflective vest (sewn-in reflective fabric) during the night was made public.

The drivers of these vehicles will also not be able to drive on the platforms or other public areas of the city designed for pedestrian traffic and will have to respect the rules and traffic signs, including those related to speed limits.

The violation of these provisions will be grounds for imposing fines of four daily minimum wages to offenders, and five minimum wages to those who, once reprimanded, do not comply with the citation to the pedagogical and training courses that will be issued to disseminate the Cycling culture in the city. The following is some of the new rules for the circulation of bicycles (see the full text of the Decree).

Infractions that we commit daily

Do you know the road traffic regulations? Up to a point, right? The logical thing is to think that we all know it, except for a small detail that escapes us, but well, nothing too important… Or is it? And if it turns out that we all commit infractions on a daily basis that we are not aware of? Some of them could cost us fines and even withdrawal of points. These are some of the most frequent:

-Circle with the dirty or worn license plate, do not use the high visibility reflective vest when getting out of the car, do not carry a spare wheel, drive with the expired card or circulate without connecting the corresponding lighting systems are 200 Euros fine.

-In the event that you do not carry two homologous portable warnings pre-warning triangles and hi vis vests, also 200 Euros. Although you may also be fined for not properly placing the hazard warning devices or not taking the necessary measures to warn other users of the existence of an obstacle or danger. In both cases, the fine is 80 Euros.

-Give bursts to the vehicle traveling in front, or what is the same, “alternative employment, in the form of flashes of long-range light or road and short-range light or crossing, with purpose other than those planned »Is punished with a fine of 80 Euros.

-For throwing the road or in its vicinity objects that may cause fire, accidents or obstruct the movement, make improper overtaking or overtaking endangering or hindering cyclists the penalty is 200 Euros and the loss of 4 points.

Cyclist mortality worries

In recent years, the practice of cycling has increased in large cities, driven by the development of self-service bicycle systems and the mayors’ desire to reduce car traffic in the city center. “In Ile-de-France, we are from 300,000 daily bicycle trips in 2001 to 700,000 in 2010, “recalls Dominique Lebrun, inter-ministerial coordinator for the use of bicycles. A progression that has been paired with the risks incurred by bicycle users. “The accidents of cyclists are related to several causes: the no respect of the signaling (fires, stop …) by some of them, the turn-left badly negotiated by others, the not taken into account of the cyclists by motorized users (excessive speed, safety distance not respected, fishtail …), the lack of lighting and visibility of bicycle users(not wear a reflective vest ), especially when they are in blind spots “, describes Emmanuel Reynard, director of education and training of the Association Prevention router.

“The main problem is that users have not learned to live together well. All cyclists must respect the rules of the road and other road users must be aware that bicycle drivers are vulnerable. Motorists need to know, for example, that a minimum distance of one meter is needed in the city to double a bike, “adds Chantal Perdition, president of the League against road violence.

Prevention and control

To reduce the number of injured cyclists, both agree on the need to develop information and prevention campaigns for them. The Road Safety Association has also planned one in 2013, which will focus on the visibility of cyclists. For Emmanuel Reynard, we must emphasize the importance of specific equipment for cyclists: “We recommend that they wear a high-visibility vest even during the day, as well as a helmet. In addition, they must check that their bike is equipped with retro-reflective tape. ”

Chantal Perdition also insists on the need to increase the control of cyclists by law enforcement agencies, when they do not respect the rules of the road. For example, Strasbourg has recently decided to increase the number of cyclists and to more systematically verbalize their traffic offenses, by imposing less expensive fines on them. Finally, Dominique Lebrun stresses the importance of increasing the number of protected cycle paths. Suggestions among others, which will be reviewed by the National Road Safety Council (CNSR) this year, before action is taken to improve the safety of cyclists.
