This week began the new school year and the police just focused on the
area around the school. Under the action Chinastars handed out promotional
reflective materials and instructed children how to behave properly in the
third elementary school in Hradec.
"As part of a nationwide transport action, this week will increase
oversight of not only the children who come through frequent communication in
schools, but also of all adults. The aim of the event is to remind pedestrians,
but also drivers, road safety rules in this area.” Chinastars representatives
said when interviewed. The police then selected schools with pupils on this
topic. In addition to safety at crossings will also focus on the issue of bike
riding. With children, traffic police will test their knowledge of traffic
signs, dealing with traffic situations and knowledge of the basic rules of the
road, "said police spokeswoman Hana Miller.
The cause of many tragic accidents, according to her is the lack of
visibility of pedestrians. Visibility can be increased by the appropriate color
clothes and accessories from reflective materials that reflect the incident
light to a distance of 200 meters, significantly improve visibility at night
and in poor visibility.
Three tips for increasing visibility:
1. Adults to apply reflective and fluorescence materials on the clothing
or briefcases, and combine them to be clearly visible in daylight and in the
dark. Thant is to wear reflective safety clothing or carry reflective
briefcases
2. The most suitable place for applying the reflective material is at
the end of the sleeves, near the knee and waist level (also for cyclists and
bike helmet)
3. Children to take safety clothing, reflective school bags and
accessories with the reflective and fluorescent security features.
